Itunes Agent Playlist workaround

Syncing with itunes agent got all my music onto my gsII. Playlists weren't transferred which was a bit annoying. Got around it by using genre fields to separate them out. It requires overwriting genre fields or composer fields in Itunes, so if you use those fields, you may want to think twice.

Once you are ready to sync using itunes agent:
1. Create separate(Playlist A, Playlist B, etc...) playlists under My Devices.
2. Add your music into each playlist.
3. Highlight all the music in playlist A
4. Right Click on Get Info
5. Change composer or Genre field to Playlist A
6. Do the same for all other playlists respectively
7. Sync

In your music player
Make sure you've added fields Genre or Composer so that you can sort by those fields.
1. Press Add Playlist
2. Name Playlist A
3. Sort by Genre or Composer(which ever you used)
4. Select all and add.

I may have missed a step or two, but it should be easy enough to figure out probably. It's obviously a lot more work than spending that measly $2.99, but I used to get if free using my Iphone.
