It would be quite easy to import an existing playlist - it's pretty much the opposite process of what ColBuild does. I just never saw the need for it - the regular "list directory contents to file" seemed fast enough to me, especially considering that I will only ever do that once.
As for appending data - the utility does not (or should not, unless I made some error) modify collections already stored in the Reader. It should only overwrite the collections that are defined in its playlist and leave the others alone.

From what i can see you build up your list from a list of titles you enter manually in the ini file,
|
If you are familiar with regular expressions and keep your books in an organized manner, you can also skip the ini-based playlists completely and go for regular-expression-based playlists instead - see options
CollectionRegExp and
CollectionRegExpTitle.

is there anyway to get the information from calibre. For instance upload all the books with calibre and if the collection information fails... like it always does the programm can then rebuild the xml from the calibre metadata info from those books?

Theoretically, yes, it is possible. It depends on whether you can export the metadata from Calibre in a suitable format. The big problem is that you would have to find a suitable field for collection information which would appear in all possible formats.
