Hello,
Let's say i have a playlist on my PC version of AIMP,
is there a way to create a folder with all the songs of this playlist + M3U file of the playlist itself (relative paths)?
So I can just copy this whole folder to my Android device and import all playlist into the Android version of AIMP?

I don't know of a simple way to fix the playlists. Make a toy playlist of just a couple of songs on each device and export in m3u8 format. Youll see you need to change backslashes to forward slashes, replace the first part of a windows path with the first part of the android path, strip carriage return from windows end of line.
My very old structure on windows had a path U:/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ (after swapping / for \). Sometimes I see the U:, sometimes not, so I handle both ways. The structure on a samsung device was /storage/0000-0000/Music/.
I cannot instruct in using unix shell commands but this is the sed command I use to do all the substitutions. Very intimidating if you are unfamiliar.
sed -e 's$\\$/$g' -e 's$U:/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/$/storage/0000-0000/Music/$' -e 's$/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/$/storage/0000-0000/Music/$' -e 's$\r$$' < "$f" > "sam-$f"

Like the user above said you will need to change the paths when exporting playlist from PC to a android device. However I did figure out a way to complete this task.
What I did was I moved all music into an SD card and placed the SD card onto a Micro SD reader. AIMP detected the folders with the music and added all the files to a playlist. I then created my desired playlist. and exported it on to the ROOT folder of my Micro SD. I then placed the Micro SD in to the phone and opened the application, then import playlist then it worked Every song was in order.
This process worked for me but it may not work for some people.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for this info, though i should say, that most of the samsungs' paths' are
/storage/emulated/0/Music/
it's very simple to edit a playlist file using just a regular notebook, open the playlist file with a notebook, press CTRL+H,
input the respected paths, and press "replace all"

This took a couple seconds to do and worked instantly, my playlist file of over 3500 tracks converted from android file path to my PC file path, wow. that CTRL+H command is insane.
Thank you.
