• How can I import playlists in Windows Media Player in XP to my new Windows 7 computer?

  I found and preserved from the old machine to xp, WMP Playlist files. How to import them into the new W-7 machine Pro? I have several long reading lists and rebuild seems them such a waste of time... I think that the playlists can simply be transferred.

  The files are PLAYLIST. CDX; READING LIST. DBF; READING LIST. FPT; and playlist.dat. (I think). They were previously under Documents and Settings Application Data etc in XP. Is there a place in W7 I can stick and I WMP to recognize them? Is it really that simple?

  You will not be able to use if the files are not in the same exact spot. If you had backed up your computer running Windows XP by using Windows Easy Transfer, your personal files (music - playlist, docs, pictures, photos, and contacts) was saved and be much easier to import and maintain.

• Playlists with windows media player

  So, I already searched and couldn't find anything to help solve my problem.  I'm not the person most computer savy in the world, but cannot understand why it won't work.

  I can create a playlist in windows media player - select this option to synchronize, he says he has been synchronized, but the list of playlist in my rocket was simply the golis.  In MTP mode, nothing happens, in MSC mode, I just get a second copy of the song in the same file as the first, but no playlists?

  Thanks in advance

  Scotty, why not try some of the other ways to create a playlist, rather than beat their heads against the wall WMP. There are at least 2 (if not more) programs of creation of playlist created by my colleagues here (here's one) directions as well as step by step on How to do with Winamp (free version is OK).

  As I said, there are more; You should be able to flush out them easily by using search here.

  Hello

  You need to open ZIP files, which are compressed to make it smaller, then use the content
  in the application appropriate - so if the audio or video content can use WMP.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files

  Although Windows has integrated ZIP, you might be more comfortable using a program
  with more features (and works with different types of compressed files).

• Trying to create a playlist without Windows Media Player?

  Is it possible to create a playlist without Windows Media Player? I VideoLan if that's any help.

  Here's the question: I did the test.m3u file, which is placed inside the folder "Music" with the following content.

  #EXTM3U
  1\test.mp3
  

  If test.m3u exists in 'Music' and 'test.mp3' also available in 'music '. However, when I access the "Playlists" menu inside the Sansa player and then click on the 'TEST' playlist, it reads as "EMPTY". Why is this? Is it just that he can't find the MP3 file or have I done something wrong with where I placed everything?

  Any help is appreciated.

  I have successes by creating playlists m3u on my Sport Clip with music files organized in several subfolders using VLC Media Player.

  First of all, I use Win Explorer of files to create subfolders on my Sport Clip (internal or external memory) to the title of the music. Then I copy my mp3 files selected from my HD in different subfolders of music on my Sport Clip

  Then, I use VLC Media Player to load the mp3 files on my drive in the VLC playlist window.

  Can I use "Media-> Save Playlist to file-. > Save it as "abc123.m3u" and save the new playlist in one of the subfolders music on my player.   Then I can use music mode or map view on my Sport Clip to select the playlist and listen to music files through all subfolders.

• Can't my downloaded music to open in Windows Media Player and Make Playlists in Windows Media Player

  Up to what a few days ago, I could download music (mp3)... put them in files... so being able to move to Windows Media Player and create playlists. The songs are all had small blue and white MP3 icon.  It was great. Didn't matter if they come from youtube or has been downloaded sites and e-mail.

  I had a virus and just had the computer repaired and recharged.  Now all the mp3 files have the Red helmet icon and play on the music app.  I really don't like this app and would like to change back to the old icon mp3.  The computer has always had Windows 8 with the music app, but it never came in the image before. I know that Windows Media Player is not the best, but it worked great for what I had with my music.  It seems that I can't do playlists on the media player more... He goes to the application of music and play on xbox music.

  Please help me to recover from my years 50 era mp3. (I'm not a 'great' computer person, so I'd appreciate any help)

  Thank you very much...

  Hi Paul,.
   
  The probable cause of this problem could be due to the 'Windows Media Player' is not defined as music player by default on your computer.
   
  In Windows 8, Windows Media Player is more the default program to open files of music such as MP3 files.  If you want to make sure Windows Media Player is the multimedia player by default as if it was in previous versions of Windows, please follow the methods in the links below.
