Having no luck with emCore, so I can't get Rockbox running atm.
Did you ask the emCore guys for the latest version? Their site is outdated.

I'm interested in this as well. To me my main appeal and why I mostly use iOS is for playlists. If there were a way to convert M iTunes playlists over for Rockbox, I'd switch permanently to Rockbox. I just have years of playlists accumulated that I continue to use.
Anyone got an answer for this? Thanks!
I've used a Mac to install rockbox before but I guess now that I have 128GB installed I will have to wait to restore it on a windows machine because I can't find any info except how to do it with the original hard drives. Tarkan seems to try to give instructions but if you just format as Fat32 then iTunes does a restore and just sets it back to Mac format.
@ThinWalls How's your Rockbox build running? Any trouble copying files?
Are you on a Mac or Windows PC? If you're running a Mac, I have an applescript that will do this for you. It is a modified version of a script I found years ago to put iTunes playlists on a Sansa Clip - http://sharefiles.quietlakephoto.com/scripts/itunes2clip_download.html . Shoot me a PM if you're interested in it. I'd rather not post it here since it is a modified version of someone else's work.
Basically, this is what it does...
1 - Looks for the file rockbox-info.txt in the hidden folder .rockbox on your device to locate the drive to use
2 - Goes through the playlist that has been selected in iTunes and copies (via the Finder) each track in the playlist to the device under the folder "Music", making Artist and Album folders as necessary
3 - Writes an m3u playlist to the device under the folder "Playlists"
The script does one playlist at a time, but also treats folders in iTunes as playlists. If a track on the playlist is already on the device in the place it expects it (Music/Artist/Album/Song.mp3), it will skip copying the track again and just writes the appropriate line to the playlist file. Also, it ignores protected AAC files.
