This is just a footnote to Al's reply. It's correct but you said you're trying to convert some playlists so you may need some more info.
The moOde playlists are stored as M3U files in /var/lib/mpd/playlists
As Al said, the track references will be with respect to the CUE file, not the actual FLAC file. The CUE file path will not be absolute but relative to the mount point of moOde's music directory.
Example, I've just stuck a USB drive into a moOde player. The drive is named KAR02. It's mounted at /mnt/KAR02; through the magic of symbolic links, it shows up in the music directory as USB/KAR02.
The "Cue" directory on this drive contains a FLAC / CUE file pair for my rip of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". Here's what we see when this album is loaded into the Queue and I use moOde "Save Queue to playlist" naming the playlist "PF-Cue" and editing it to have Genre "Rock".
The associated CUE file is in the same directory as the FLAC file and begins
Note- I gave this playlist a cover image but that's not referenced in the M3U file; it's dealt with separately.
Between moOde and underlying MPD, the imagery and metadata all show up nicely in the Playback panel with when I load this playlist and start selecting/playing tracks.

Kent
