After numerous attempts I'm faced with the same problem. All the playlists tracks are there; none of the playlists are, except those I imported individually.
Other users are faced with the same issue, see :
-I recently used a script to batch create m3u playlists for my entire music collection. I was wondering if it is possible to batch import these playlists into itunes instead of doing each one individually. (which would take forever because there are hundreds of playlists)

-I just bought an iPod, so I'm totally new to iTunes. Previously I used Windows Media Player, where I have a few hundred playlists that I've created (WMP saves them as .m3u files, which are essentially text files that refer to the individual mp3 files that make up the playlist).
iTunes allows you to import a single playlist at a time, either through the menu or drop-drag, but if I try to drop and drag more than one playlist at a time into iTune, it just copies the songs included in the playlist, and not the playlist itself. This is a BIG problem for me, because I love my playlists.
Does anybody know how to work around this and do a batch import, or know of a plug-in or batch file somebody created to take care of this task? Even a macro?

What gives? Is Apple trying to
hinder transition from other media players? I have created hundreds of playlists with Musicmatch, Winamp and Windows Media Player, all compatible with each other and importable in batch by simply selecting a folder.
The world did not begin -- and does not end -- with Apple. And I thought that Microsoft was arrogant...
