Managing Playlists between Windows media 10 & Zen mi

Looking for advice on the best way to manage my WM0 playlists with my micro. I have the playlist or create the playlist in WM0, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to move it over to my micro. I synchronize WM playlist, but it doesn't transfer to the micro.
Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks! this was helpful. I like others would still like to be able to manage the playlists from the windows media screen when the device is connected. When I expand the playlists, I don't see any of the playlists. Has anyone figured this out?
thanks again for the responses

  • Import library and playlists from Windows Media Player without duplicates

    How do I import all the music and playlists from Windows Media Player into iTunes without creating duplicates?
    I add the folder containing all my music to iTunes and all my music arrives nicely. I begin importing playlists and the playlist comes over with all the songs duplicated in my library. Most of my songs are on playlists but some are not.
    After adding the music folder (approx 7000 songs) then all the playlists, my iTunes library now contains over 13,000 songs. The increase is due to the duplicates being created as the playlists are added.
    If I skip adding the music folder and just add the playlists I get most of my music without as many duplicates but I am missing the songs which are not on any playlist. Thanks.

    If it' sprotectged WMA files, no you can't add them.
    If they are plain WMA (like RIPped from a CD) you can File -> Add to library and iTunes will import and convert them.

    How can I transfer playlist in Windows Media Player to me I Pad mini?

        Great question Rosa.Lee! Music is definitely a priority for my wireless device. From your PC, you can drag music to iTunes and it will automatically format. Then you can connect your iPad and sync.

  • Zen V Plus sync of playlists from Windows Media Player

    I am using automatic sync on windows media player 0 to my Zen V plus. The music is transferring, but I do not see the playlists being shown on the Zen player. Any ideas how to get them to sync as well so I don't have to build them on the player?

    After trying things out for a while, I found that when you sync using Windows Media Player, the playlists selected will be on the Zen V plus screen for you to select. It will not display on the folders that list on the Windows Media Player display. I don't know why, but the important thing is that the playlists do end up on the Zen V plus so that you can select and play them.

  • Playlists from windows media player into itunes.

    I used import playlist and it doesnt work. Like my computer doesnt even register that i clicked that. Help please!

    Open itunes.
    First go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the ipod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK.
    Then go to file menu, go to "add file to library" or if its a whole folder go to "add folder to library". Go through folders to find the songs (usually in "My Music" )
    Select the song or songs you want to add, then hit open. To select more than one song from a folder, click the first one, hold shift, then click the last song you want to select.
    A box will come up saying "one or more of the files you are adding are wma files",click ok and itunes will convert them into aac format (this could take a while if you have a number of songs).
    It should be noted that this will only work with unprotected WMA files, not ones bought off of the windows media store or imported to windows media with protection.
    Hope this helps

  • Firmware 2.11.01 unbelievably slow using Mediasource & Windows Media Player (Zen Tou

    I have just updated my firmware to version 2..0. and creative mediasource to the latest with the playsforsure plugin, and now it takes ten minutes for mediasource or windows media player to show what tracks I have on my creative zen. This is a lot slower than before as it usually did this instantly. I have 8936MB left of memory left on my Zen Touch and I have 3230 tracks. Can someone please suggest how I solve this problem and how to speed the two programs up.

    I think the error showing on Microsoft WMP/Beta 2 means that you need to install the newest Creative PlaysforSure firmware update on the Xtra, for it to work correctly.
    I won't update to the PlaysforSure, as I use my Xtra to store audiobooks from NetLibrary and Overdri've. Without PlaysforSure, the audiobooks don't expire. I can read them at my leisure.
    The Real Player works great with the Xtra without the PlaysforSure firmware. (www.real.com for a free Real player)

  • How do you configure MEDIA MANAGER and/or WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER to play ALL songs in a PLAYLIST ?

    I have 41 songs in a particular PLAYLIST and it plays the first one OK but when it advances to the next one it "runs" but there is no Audio.
    I have to manually stop
    , go back to the PLAYLIST and then select the next song...then it plays OK.
    There's got to be a way to play the COMPLETE playlist w/o my "input"

    It should be playing it automatically. If it plays manually when you clicked on the next song, theres a problem with the software. Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the program. Please post back when done.

  • Creating playlist with Windows Media Player 11

    I created a playlist in WMP 11 and sync'd it with my Pixi Plus.  I also saved the playlist as a M3U file in the Music folder of my Pixi Plus, but when I try to open the playlist in the music section of the phone,  it say's 'no items available'.  
    How do I create a playlist for my Pixi Plus using WMP 11?  Any suggestions?  
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121vzw (Verizon)

    Click on the Library tab at the top of the screen (if not already selected) to bring up the library menu screen. Click on the Create Playlist option (under playlists menu) in the left pane - you may need to click on the + icon to open this menu if this isn't visible.The next step shows you how to populate your new playlist with tracks from your music library. Drag and drop tracks from your music library to the newly created playlist displayed in the left pane. Again, you may need to click on the + icon next to the library menu item to see the sub-optionsOnce you have a populated playlist, you can use it to playback the music tracks from your music library, burn a CD, or sync to a media/MP3 player - use the top menu tabs (Burn, Sync, etc.)and drag your playlist over to the right pane to burn, or sync your playlist.

  • How do you add a playlist from windows media player to itunes

    I want to put a playlist from wmp on to itunes

    I can't see a way to export M3U playlists from WMP or import WPL playlists into iTunes. I could probably write a script to import directly from the WPL, but there is no point reinventing the wheel if this works for you: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wplm3uconvert/

  • How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

    I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

    Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>

            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • Windows Media Player DRM prevents me watching football on my iMac - HELP!!

    Hi there -
    I'm having some real problems trying to watch my beloved Scottish Football games live (or recorded) on my iMac.
    I'm a new mac user. Used to be a pc owner (my appologies there) and watched all my games with no problem. Games are shown either live or recorded via Windows Media Player.
    I downloaded Windows Media Player for Mac (and something called Stffit Expander), but to no avail.
    Problem I seem to have is that the Digital Rights Management (DRM) for Windows Media Player is preventing me from watching the games on a Mac - seems that WMP does not support Safari, although Firefox does not work either, so I guess it is the Operating System? I have been told by a work colleague that basically I'm stuffed unless I put a Windows Operating System on the iMac, which I would really like to avoid doing at this point.
    Can anyone out there help me with this at all? Am I destined to miss out on the games because I am now a Mac user? Seems a tad unfair that! If it helps, the websites I watch the games at are www.heartsfc.co.uk and www.internetfootball.co.uk
    I'm at my wits end here, but I guess it's my own fault for not checking into this before I bought the iMac.
    Anyway, I'd appreciate ideas/comments/recommendations etc, just keep in mind that I am no whizz on the Technical side of things.
    Any Scots in Canada with Macs who have the same problem?
    Thanks for your time all!
    Angus

    Hi, Angus.
    Unfortunately, you're out of luck:
    • Windows Media Player 9 for Mac (WMP9) does not play Windows Media files protected with anything later than version 1.3 of Microsoft's DRM. This is documented here on Microsoft's Web site, under the heading "Support for Digital Rights Management." If the files in question use a version of Microsoft's DRM later than 1.3, they will not play in WMP9 on a Mac.
    • Flip4Mac, the replacement for WMP9, does not support any WIndows Media files encoded with Microsoft's DRM on Mac OS X. It states on this page that "Note: Flip4Mac does not support content that is protected with Windows Media digital rights management (DRM). "See also this Flip4Mac Knowledge Base article.
    You need to check with the firm from which you view/download the files to determine the version of Windows DRM they employ. Information concerning available versions of Windows DRM can be found here.
    Note that this is not a Mac problem: it is due to Microsoft refusing to make its DRM available on the Mac, i.e. a Microsoft business decision intended to keep you locked-in to the Windows platform.
    If your iMac is one of the new Intel-based iMacs, then you have two options for running Windows XP on your iMac, which would then permit you to view the videos in Windows:
    • Apple's Boot Camp Public Beta;
    • Parallels Desktop for Mac
    along with with a copy of Windows XP.
    The key difference between these is that Boot Camp requires you startup in either WIndows or Mac OS X: you can only run one OS at a time. Parallels Desktop lets you run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
    Both approaches have straightforward installation instructions. If I were in your position, I'd opt for Parallels Desktop given the ability to with with both operating systems simultaneously.
    Good luck!

  • Windows Media Player keeping Automatic Maintenance window/Windows Updates from doing auto-restart

    I have a system that is connected to a domain, and it runs a video playlist in Windows Media Player for digital signage upon bootup (and auto-login).  WMP is set to loop the videos over and over again, but it also is preventing automatic updates from
    installing and/or auto-restarting at 3:00AM in the morning (and yes, the system power management is set to keep the computer on all the time).
    How can I fix this?
    I have a GPO set up to install updates and restart automatically (option 4).  I tried the GPO option to use the Windows 8 maintenance window to install updates, and also tried turning that option off and just using a 3:00AM restart period.  Neither
    option seems to work, so it looks like Windows Media Player is preventing an auto-restart to finish the update installation.  Is there any way around this, so that Windows Media Player doesn't stop Windows Updates from doing its job?  I don't care
    if that means the video stops playing because it just starts up again on the next bootup.
    I looked at the WMP GPO's and the only option that sounds like it's related is the option to turn on or off the auto-updating of media info for WMP, but it has nothing to do with what I'm trying to accomplish.  If I missed something, let me know. 
    If there is some other way to accomplish this, such as associating and launching the playlist file with the Xbox Videos app, I would be fine with that, but I need it to loop the playlist continually (I also use the Shuffle option
    in WMP - ***see note below for another question).  I still want the system to automatically install updates and reboot on a regular schedule despite the video playing in the foreground.
    ***Side question: is there any way to turn Repeat and Shuffle options on in WMP without having to load the GUI (for scripting a playlist)?
    Just FYI: this system is actually using Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise (from a MAPS account), but it isn't customized aside from not having the standard WinRT apps from a stock Win 8.1 install loaded - it is a stock install from the ISO. 
    From what I understand, it is the same as Windows 8.1 Enterprise, except that it is only licensed to be used as an "appliance" machine for a single role - which it is.  So I'm assuming that there are no actual differences from a "regular"
    Windows 8.1 SKU that would cause this issue.  If I am completely mistaken about this, please notify me on it.  The reason I'm making this statement is in case there are any differences in Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise that I am not aware of. 
    Otherwise, I welcome any assistance that would target a "regular" version of 8.1 Enterprise.  NOTE:  Someone said to post this into the Windows Embedded forum, but the only one that exists is the one for POSready - and this is HARDLY the
    POSready version of Windows Embedded that I'm using.

    Hi,
    Did you use the policy Local Computer Policy\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Always automatically restart at the scheduled time?
    I noticed an description "restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" policy is enabled, then this policy has no effect." it means if system installed some updates which unneeds restart computer, this policy would has no effect.
    In my opinion, your problem should not caused by WMP setting. please check your installed updates whether they need restart computer.
    In addition, Power Managment in Control Panel also can prevent the schedule task running.
    Control Panel\System and Security\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings\Change advanced power settings\Sleep\Allow wake timers
    Please make sure this option is enable.

  • Windows Media Player Extension "Add-on for this website failed to run" except for Administrator

    This is on a Windows server 2008 r2. I am trying to allow users to watch help videos at a vendor site. If I remote desktop using the Administrator, I can play the videos and if I check the "manage add-ons", I see Windows Media Player as an extension.
    If I remote desktop on as a "normal user" and try to view the same video, I get the error message "An add-on for this website failed to run" and if I check the "manage add-ons", Windows Media Player extension is not there. That
    makes sense, since if it is not there, it won't run.
    Why isn't Windows Media Player extension showing up in IE 10 on the server for anyone other than Admin? How could I make this work? If I am somehow preventing this from taking place, where would I go on the server to change that?

    Hi,
    Have you try adding this video website into trusted sites zone or compatibility view list?
    Generally, improper security settings may casue failure to run some add-ons. So, please attempt to  decrease  security level for Internet Zone to check if this issue still occurs.
    How do you think your issue is related to Windows Media Player extension? Based on my knowledge, Flash player plug-in can lead to the problem. Please reinstall your flash player for the current user.
    Also, Please check in event log for more clues.
