• 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.

• 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.

  To the WMP library, please click on organize and select manage libraries - music . What places are? If there is no available location, remove them and also make sure that a default save location is set. Do the same for the other libraries (videos, pictures, and Recorded TV).

  If this does not help, close WMP, open Windows Explorer, right-click the music library, select Properties and click on restore by default . After that, make sure that a backup location is defined (as indicated by a check mark).

  Hi SupportTech2010,

  Method 1

  Check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with network mode and post back with the details.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Method 2

  If the problem does not persist in mode safe mode with networking mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you create a network drive in Windows and check if it helps.
