Getting Rhythmbox to do much of anything related to syncing and playlists
took three weeks of research and an accidental typo, so I don't have high
hopes of changing its output extension for playlists. Unfortunately it's
still the best functioning out of all the desktop players.

It looks like manual intervention is the only way then.
