Making playlists in Zen Micr

Can't seem to figure this one out yet...
I've tried creating a playlist on the Zen Micro itself by choosing the 'Save as Playlist' option as a song is playing which is fine until i want to a add a second and more songs to a list i've just begun/named... how do you do that?
Tried uploading a list i already had in WMP0 but nothing showed up under Playlists on the player ?
Any help appreciated.

With the first issue, there's no direct answer to this. All you can do is queue the existing playlist, then add the tracks to the queue, and save the playlist again. You will have to enter the same name, and you will get a prompt to overwrite the tracks.
For information about getting playlists to sync with WMP0, see this post here.

Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300

/Problem making playlists with new Zen Style 300hI follow this procedure from the support page:
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=804
I also have tried many other options and procedures, but each time the playlist that ends up on the player has only a few of the songs that I put on the play list. all the songs do exist on the player, but seems to randomly select only a small subset of the songs - example: 6 original, 2 get on the list, 30 on teh original, 6 get on the player's play list.
The odd part is if I go back to the player at some later time and connect via creative central, the correct playlist displays on the PC. However, is still wrong (truncated) on the player. So it seems to remember the correct play list, but just does not display correctly on the player.
PC OS - win7
creative centrale version .8.03
zen style 300 sw version: .0.07
Anyone get this to work on the zen style 300?

?After many attempts? (like 6) with creative support to convince them this was a software bug, the end state response was to send the player back. Using better judgement, I waited for a new software release and indeed the problem was fixed in a subsequent release of the software.
My main frustration here was they seem to not want to escalate problems quickly to the right level of technical support that actually understands the software/debugging? vs hardware? and can look through a set of debugging steps and tests I sent in the first notes and realize it is not something hardware related. Even after citing my degrees in computer science/electrical engineering and having designed/debugged systems much more complex than this, all I got was simple procedural steps to repeat or send it back, it is a hardware problem. Ug!

Files seen under Explorer but not under Music; making playlists outside Music

My Zen Touch 2 sees some files only in the explorer but not under Music > Songs. I.e. I load an album into the right folder and Zen sees only the fourth, fifth etc. track under Music while seeing all under Explorer. As I can add songs to playlists only under Music, this effecti'vely blocks me from listening, What`s the... ehm, problem? Why can`t this piece of plastic see all the files?
And second: Maybe there is a nicer way of making playlists than one by one in the device? I`ve heard some hardware Mp3/4 players cana ccept external playlists, but the help doesn`t mention this.

QThanks but as this changes even within an album (tracks -3 not seen, later ones yes) I don`t think it is the problem of tags exclusi'vely. BTW, maybe there`s some way of making the Music window (program? folder?) display file names instead tags?
Thanks for the playlist answer. Now`s just the problem of finding where WMP keeps them

I enabled computer home sharing between my fiance's apple computer and my windows. I am able to play his music on my computer now, however I am making playlists for our wedding, and am unable to transfer any of his songs to my playlists.How can I do this?

Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

How do I play just 1 song on the iPhone / Making Playlists on iPhone?

Is it possible to just pick 1 song and play that and nothing after it? It always wants to play another song after the one I choose.
Also - What is the 'On the go' playlist for and does it sync to iTunes?
Lastly - Is it possible to make playlists on the iPhone or do these need to be made in iTunes and then synced?

Like Glor says is how to set it to play one song and then end playback. Add that one song to the on the go playlist, and then play the playlist.
This is because it appears that the phone refers to each song as part of a larger group. It's not <songname>, it is <playlist>-<songname>. Even the master list groups songs under a group heading, kind of like a First Name Last Name setup. I figure it's to keep a song named Blue easily separate from a phone contact named Blue, and both of those separate from an application also named Blue. They would be called App Blue, Song Blue and Contact Blue. Just my offhand supposition.
As for making playlists on the phone... You can only add songs to the On The Go list, all of the others are unable to be edited. However, if you add songs to On The Go, the next time you sync that playlist is copied to iTunes and renamed "On The Go 1". And then the original On The Go is reset to empty - ready for you to monkey around with it at will.
So, I add "Blue" to On The Go on the phone.
Then I sync.
"On The Go 1" appears in iTunes and on the phone. It only contains the song "Blue"
The phone's On The Go is reset to empty.
So now I have a playlist "On The Go" that I can add songs to with the phone, and another playlist called "On The Go 1" that I can only edit on iTunes.

Why is making playlists so hard?

I really loathe making playlists now on Itunes.
Adding tunes - scrolling, its just useless now.
How about when you search for an artist, click on it - and it starts playing the song right then and there.

Now let's say you are searching for an artist and want to find a particular tune. You search for artist. Click on it - and Itunes immediately starts playing the first song of that artist in your collection.
Then they have this new feature - Play this song next. If I want to play the song next I'll click on it and it will play- STEVE JOBS WHERE ARE YOU!!!

Creating playlists in ZEN M100

Hello, I have a problem. I want to create a playlist in zen m00, but I have no idea how to do it. When I choose 'Playlist' in menu, there's a massage: 'Please sync play list to the player'...

"Re: Creating playlists in ZEN M00?No, it doesn't. I've tried creating playlist with Winamp, Playlist creator and m3udropper. I've followed the instructions to change encoding from a ansi to unicode. Every try results in "the playlist is empty", although?when I open the playlist with notepad I can se all the songs. This is really anoying since I use the player to listen to audiobooks as well. To listen to the chapters played randomly is obviously not an option! When is the firmware update coming?

Playlist on Zen Mi

I have recently purchased a Zen Micro and am completely in love with it and the fact that I could find a non-iPod mp3 player that is great. Anyway the only problem Ive been having with it is that when I go to listen to one song, or add one at a time to a current playlist, it likes to add the entire album instead of the selected song. If anyone knows what mightbe causing this your help is greatly appreciated.

Can you describe the procedure you are using to add the files?

Creating playlists for ZEN To

Just got the 40 gig Touch and love it. My problem is that creating playlists on the Zen is very cumbersome and I would like to create plylists on my PC as I can run a mouse faster than work on the zen. My zen is loaded with songs and I want to make playlists from those files. Can I make them on the synced up zen through mediasource or do I have to make the playlists and then load the songs? Hope someone understands what I'm getting at and any help would be great. Thanks in advance, Brad

It's easy. First You connect Your Zen Touch to PC, then create playlists through MediaSource, Winamp, Audio Catalyst or whatever software You wish. Of course, You have to add songs to playlist from Your Zen Touch, not PC hard dri've (otherwise how did You consider to create playlists before plugging-in Zen Touch)
For example, if You use MediaSource, follow this:
.first of all open it & find the "View" option on the Toolbar. Click on it & put the mark on "Show Right Panel" - this will give add. window to manage your playlists.
2.Find Your Zen Touch in browser, click on it & find "Playlist" sub-catalog. On the playlist toolbar click "New" to create new playlist.
3. On the right window, that You opened in Step , find Your Zen Touch again, click on it & You will see all songs that You have in Your player.
4. To add songs from Your player to the playlist use arrow buttons between the windows.
I hope that will help

Creating Playlist On Zen Micro - Adds Entire Album, Not Selected S

I'm attempting to create a playlist while in my Zen Micro. I have a song playing and go to the song and select "Save as Playlist", and I assign it a name. When I go look at the playlist it has included the entire album in the playlist, not just the selected song. Is there any way of adding single tracks rather than entire albums (other than creating them externally using Creative's software)?
Thanks....

You have to go to the main menu, select Now Playing, a song should show there, then use the bottom right hand option button (right click) and there should be a selection to clear all from Now Playing. I don't have my Zen Micro here with me so I can't tell you exactly what it says in the menu. Once you have done that you can create a play list and individually add songs to it as above. I did this before the gym yesterday and it worked nicely.Message Edited by bhype23 on 0-9-2005 09:36 PM

Playlists on Zen Mi

Even though my Zen Micro is showing 774 songs in the general info page, when I choose the option, "All Tracks" it is only showing 698 songs. I have tried several configurations to have the Zen recognize all the songs to no avail. When I go to System Information it does show memory used etc as well as 774 songs in the content. However when playing all tracks it shows for example Song number 56 of 698 not 56 of 774. Can someone please advise me?
Thanks
Ben

Can someone tell me where i can ge tthese auto playlist from? I had them before but I don't know where I got them from.

How to manage playlist for Zen with Windows 7?

After upgrading to Windows 7 (with WMP2), I noticed that I can no longer make or edit playlists for my 32GB Zen with either WMP2 or the Zen Media Explorer. Anyone know if there is a solution to this, apart from installing another third party media manager?

I have this problem too.
I can see my playlists, but cant modify them or add to them. I have been using winamp to create and modify new ones, but winamp doesnt recognise old .zpm types. Hopefully someone has found a fix for this... or better yet creative could release a windows 7 compatible media explorer.
I would gladly use another 3rd party media manager if it works with playlists properly on my Zen, but have tried many with no success.

Cannot Edit Playlists in Zen Micro Media Player for Zen Micro on Windows Vista 32

When I click on the icon for my Zen I do not get a folder list - just a music library. As a result I cannot edit any playlists I have created as there is no icon for it. Please could anybody advise me? Many thanks.

The Media Explorer for the zen micro is not compatiable for Vista I have the same problem.

Backing up playlists in Zen Vision M?

So I have a Zen Vision M, and have ended up with a wide variety of duplicated tracks on the device. I've decided, at this point, that it would be simpler to delete everything and copy them back over from my computer. However, I am afraid this will mess up my playlists, which I would rather not re-create. So I am wondering, is there some way I can back up my playlists on my computer?
Thanks!
Kaiti

Hello all:
I have an idea for those who are looking to add album art:
I have yet to see if it works with the Vision:M (mine will be here next week), but I used mediamonkey to add album art to my mp3 catalog (,200+ songs). Its easy to do and you can add art to an entire album of songs at one time. It uses Amazon's database for album art. As long as you have things properly tagged its completely automated (It took me ~.5 hours to ad album art to my entire collection). It will also ask you if you want the picture to be embedded in the id3 tag (which as far as I know you do for the Vision:M). Finally, mediamonkey is a great Mp3 management tool. Its free and you can get it at www.mediamonkey.com.
John
