I'm Having some issues...I'm trying to move all my playlist from my old PC to my New Mac (first time mac user) i have all my music on 3 external hard drives. I have tried to open the m3u file and do the Find replace thing..thought that would work, but it did not...any other ideas would be great! trying not to have to go through and make all those's playlists again.
not sure if its something with the format of the external hard drives. i can play songs on vdj on mac and can save to them from the mac..just can't get the vdj/mac to read the new m3u/playlist paths

Most likely it's because VDJ on the Mac doesn't support windows type file paths.
Not sure how much you know about file paths and file names, but windows playlists use the backslash ('\') and Macs use the forwards slash ('/').
So, a typical playlist file entry on a PC would look like:
Path\to\your\song.mp3
and the Mac equivalent would look like:
Path/to/your/song.mp3
The Solution
1. Open the playlist file on your Mac using TextEdit.
2. Do a find and replace on '\' and replace all with '/'.
3. Save the file.
4. Re-open the file in VDJ.
It should work now.
VDJ needs to support both file systems. If you agree, add your support below:
