You should search the forum for 'ipod' as this has been discussed many (many!) times. Not the touch specifically, but ipods in general.

I use Musicbee to my iPhone4:

In MB, Send To Playlist.
I use MB to copy the playlist files to another folder, and use MB to export a playlist .m3u to that folder.

I use 3utools to import that folder and sync it to the iPhone.



Its a long winded way around but here's hoping someone more knowledgeable than me could write a plug in for MB to directly access an IOS device, there are many iPhone transfer programs that do it.
If there was an iPhone transfer sync app that could import a playlist file and grab the music files from their original location to save the copying........

Yes, you need another program to do it.

I export my playlists to m3u and then import them into MediaMonkey (free version), which still works fine with the iPod Touch (I have a 2010 version whatever the generation number is on that).

Wish musicbee could handle it so I could ditch using MediaMonkey at all, but it can't so I can't.

Despite hating Apple's lock you into their ecosystem policy I just use iTunes for syncing, by far the easiest way if you have Apple devices, especially phones as iTune's fully backs it up at the same time.

I use MusicBee for listening, better by far in many ways.

Same as I do with my iPhone :)
