I have an iPod with Rockbox, and wanted an easy way to throw playlists from my desktop to it. Alternatives already handles the music, so why not the playlists? #116 shows others looking for this feature.
Currently, it's rather rudimentary. There's no smart merging of playlists, it just deletes all the playlists from the collection and recreates them brand new. However, it's good enough for some simple use cases.

Potential Enhancements
This could load playlists from the playlist and smartplaylist as well. These should probably be specified by the user which ones should be included.I wrote this before looking at the docs for these plugins 😅. The current implementation is sufficient for this. Theplaylistandsmartplaylistplugins simply place M3U playlists into a directory specified by the user. The user could then just point the alternative collection's playlist to this directory, or playlists inside of it.Closes #116
