According to the Satisfaction site of Songbird, playlists are stored in an internal database.

Thus they are only accessible via Songbird...

	This answer is quite relevant since it was really easy to find the answer by a quick search. +1 for the answer but no points for the question. – r0ca Jul 24 '10 at 19:10
	It is not compatible with my songbird version (which is more modern): 1.8.0 – Jack25 Dec 10 '10 at 6:18
	You might want to start a new question on the Satisfaction site then, I can't help you further... :-( – Tom Wijsman Dec 11 '10 at 22:36
	@r0ca The question should get points if it's useful and clear. Given this answer is useful doesn't it turn that very clear but indeed useless question into a good one? I mean, without it you wouldn't get the good answer. – Cawas Jan 10 '11 at 9:05

You can export playlists from songbird as .m3u files using the following addon: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/51

Then you can use an alternative player such as MediaMonkey to scan the .m3u files and it'll recreate the playlist within its library.

Disclosure: I work on MediaMonkey

It is not compatible with my songbird version (which is more modern): 1.8.0 . But i found this version 2: addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1948 . But it doesnt work: says it cant find the export folder.... thanks anyway
