I saw this at Costco yesterday and almost picked one up, but I decided to look into something first.

Is it possible to import playlists created in itunes (or convert them to be compatible) and will these playlists point to files located partially on internal memory and partially on SD cards?

I read somewhere that on at least some Sansa models, the audio files must reside in the same location (internal memory vs SD card) as the playlist files. If the audio files aren't in the same location, they are automatically copied to it (obviously not the best solution for organizing files or maximizing storage).

I really want to get the Sansa and love the expandability, but if doesn't handle this issue well, I'll probably need to get an ipod classic instead (my music library is pretty large and would need to be stored on 4 32gb cards).

Thanks.
