<b>Exporting and Importing between MediaMonkey and ArchSimian</b>
To use ArchSimian, you have to export from MediaMonkey the MM4 playlist you will be modifying in ArchSimian. The easy way is to install the "Export/Create Playlist for Child Nodes" extension in MM4. Configure to export as "ANSI" and set directory for using in ArchSimian. Then. simply right click on the playlist and export. If you don't want to use the extension, this is also a base feature of MM4, but you will have to do it more manually (See note 5). After you revise the playlist in ArchSimian, it will place it in the folder where you placed the MM4 exported playlist. You can then import it back into MM4 using the ImportM3U plugin and update the playlist in MM4.

When you have added tracks from ArchSimian, you can simply save your playlist to the Windows shared directory as a Windows-compatible playlist. You can then import it back into MM4 for use in Windows and your mobile device if you have the MM app.
