Go to your WinSCP profile (Session > Sites > Site Manager)
Click on Edit > Advanced... > Environment > SFTP
Insert sudo su -c /usr/lib/sftp-server in "SFTP Server"
Save and connect
I'm now able to import all my old windows playlists (albeit with a small find and replace job to modify the path in the M3U files)
Edit: as well as removing the windows path i just realised the slashes are all wrong so also find and replaced \ with / Still saved me a heap of time.
