Gogear 6330/17 - Creating/Adding Playlist

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....

If you want to make a new playlist for your 8 gig GoGear Aria, all you have to do is highlight the songs you want to add, then right click the mouse and choose create playlist. Name the new playlist then cut and paste it into "Playlist" in the music choices and there you go. No WMP needed.

That particular model is not capable of recognize playlists. The playlist option is only for creating a "Playlist on the Go" from within the player itself.

That player is set up for playlist transfer through Windows Media Player 10 only - you can either: 1) rollback your Windows Media Player to ver. 10; 2) attempt the firmware upgrade by running the Update tab in Philips Device Manager (may not work); 3) reinstall the installation CD - select Repair as your choice - it will add a plug-in that it may have skipped during initial installation. Good luck!

The SA33xx series does not support playlist transfer. You can create a Playlist on the Go as the manual suggests, but it will not allow you to transfer your own playlists.

·         Open up Windows Media Player(WMP) on your computer. To add a track to a playlist on your computer using WMP, click to highlight an item.
 
·         Right-click on the item that you want to add, then select Add to Playlist. A pop-up window will appear. Select an existing playlist or add a new one. Your selection is now added to your playlist.
 
·         Delete a track. When you do not want a track on your playlists anymore, you are able to delete it. To delete tracks and playlists, click to highlight an item. Right-click the item and select Delete from Library to delete it.
 
·         To Edit track information, click on a track. Right-click and select Edit. Click on the text boxes to edit relevant information.
 
·         Once all changes have been made, connect your GoGear to your computer with your USB cable and download the new playlists.

Not possible on this model - you only have the Playlist On the Go option

According to the manual for most GoGear's, you have to have automatic synchronization enabled in Windows Media Player for the playlists to transfer correctly.I still have not been able to verify if this is true, since I have been able to transfer playlists fine with and without auto-sync engaged.

I haven't tried a 3115 specifically, but with an SA4111 and an SA5125, I just created the playlist in Windows Media Player 11, right clicked on the playlist name after it was created, selected "Add to Sync List," and then "Start Sync" with GoGear connected. I used this method, because it seemed more likely to add the songs AS A PLAYLIST rather than just dragging and dropping the tracks WITHIN the playlist.

As I look more closely at the documentation for the SA3115, however, it does not have the same playlists options as other GoGear's - it seems to limit you to Playlist-on-the-Go. I know that the GoGear will not recognize folders that you create in Windows Explorer, so that option is out. You can connect the GoGear, and see if a Playlists folder appears in the left-hand pane underneath the icon of the GoGear in the Sync tab. My gut feeling, however, is that this player is just not as equipped as other GoGear models for playlist transfer. I'll go back to the lab on tuesday and see if I can find anything new.

One of the pesky features of windows Media Player is that if you delete the song/playlist from the computer's harddrive, and then resync your device to that same computer, then oftentimes the song/playlist disappears. Reacquire the song/playlist, and then try resyncing to the goGear again.
