How do I to add a playlist

The only way to add playlists on this unit is to use your PC software to create them and then add to the unit later. you cannot create a playlist on the player itself.

you can use any music software to create and add. for instance, If you are using Sonys own Soundstage, follow these instructions:

Click "My Library"

Click "create/edit PLaylist"

Select the tracks you want from content shown on left. ( to select multiple tracks at once, hold CTRL key)

Select the "New Playlist" on right

The new playlist will be created. you can rename it now

click on large arrow pointing left

Now just import this folder to your player

you are done.

There are two ways in which you can add a playlist....
1......by using your playlist via the player...
2......or by creating one using the computer....

First lets see the one using the player...all you have to do is go to the song navigate option...highligh the song that you wan to add to your playlist and then click the record button.you will be given two choices..one add to my playlist and two erase.....click the add to my playlist option and you will have the song added to you r playlist.....

second method is create a normal playlist using windows media player with the correct directories in the player and then copy the file to the player...
now when you press the menu button for a second or two in the songs menu...you will be displayed two choices....one file navigator and the other is playlists....
click the playlists option to access the playlists....

Use Windows Media Player.

Once you plug in the MP3 player, open Windows Media Player and you should see it listed as a device. Right-click the device in the left-hand column of the Windows Media Player and click 'Set Up Sync'. Put a check in the 'Sync this device automatically' checkbox and then add one of your existing playlists that are in the list on the left side to the right side by selecting the list and clicking the 'Add' button, located between the two lists. If you don't have a playlist, you'll need to create one.

Once you have all the songs you want to add to your mp3 player added to your playlist, you can then select the device again, and click the 'Sync' tab at the upper, right-hand corner of your Windows Media Player and then click 'Start Sync' to sync the playlist with your mp3 player.

Any songs you want to add or remove from your device, you simply add or remove them from your playlist and then sync it again.

Hi beanfromex,
I've heard many people complaining that they can't make a playlist with media player. Certain other free programs like Media monkey can help. However, the simplest thing you can do is go to the folder on the walkman, select all the media files you want to add to a particular playlist, right-click and then select "Create Playlist". A .pla file will be generated immediately.

you can add it by connecting your device to the pc, open either real player or windows media player and there is an option in both the softwares to synchronize the device to pc. after synchronizing, add them to your device. the playlists you created in your pc will be exactly in your device then

Try using copy paste or Windows Explorer or similar utility. ([email protected])

Ok I got it. you need to go in to your windows media player on the right it will say sync or something of that nature. Add the songs you want on the playlist. name it and press sync on the bottom

OK so it is a little confusing on how to create a playlist, I am about to make your headaches go away on this issue.
1.Plug your mp3 player into your computer. 2.Go to my computer and open your mp3 player in windows. 3.go to your folder on your mp3 player that you have files folders etc.. that you would like to add to a playlist. 4.right click on folder and choose "create playlist" 5.Name your playlist.
thats it ! you should now have a playlist on your MP3 player, I hope this helps.

to add files to walkman i open the walkman icon that appears when i connect to pc an find and open folder named songs....drag and drop your song files ( as mp3) and thats all

hope this helps

There is another way but that is called Favorites. First go to settings on the player and enable advance then go to one of your songs and press the select button then it will give you an option that says add to favorites? choose the check mark to add that songs to your playlist. Also there is a way to add playlist using windows media player. The steps given would be for windows media player 10. First click on the Library Tab thecn click on the arrow for the Now Playing List choose New List then Playlist, now add songs to your newly created playlist by dragging them to the drag items here window after you have choosen all the songs you like click on Now Playing List and choose Save Playlist As.. After saving the playlist change the settings of the player to Autodetect and connect the player to the computer. Now wait for it to be detected by the computer and click on SYNC tab on the windows media player software. There are two windows the left is where you will choose the playlist the right your mp3 player. Choose the playlist that you have created and click on START SYNC now it will be transferring the playlist to your mp3 player just go to Music then Playlist. Hope this helps :D
