Sync Playlists using WM

Hello,
Recently I updated my Zen Touch Firmware for MTP. I'm now using WMP0 to sync my music. And I managed to sync my music fine, but I was wondering how to sync playlists to my device (and show them on my playlist menu of the player). I tried dragging the playlist file (m3u, asx or even wpl) to the sync area of the WMP0 and it appears in the sync list fine, but when I select the sync button, it gives me this error:
"Error: Windows Media Player cannot synchronize the file. The Player might not support the file type."
Any idea on what steps do I need to follow to sync my playlists to the Zen Touch?
Thanks

Try creating a playlist inside WMP0 and then add that entire playlist to the Sync List and see if it will work. If you have an existing playlist then add it to your library first then add it to your Sync List.
On the left side you should see the name of the songs in that playlist appear and the name of the playlist should be on the top.
Note however, WMP0 does have issues with Playlists as described <a href='http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;89548' target=_blank>here[/url]. So manually syncing your playlist will not transfer over the playlist, just the tracks. Auto-syncing is the best way to use WMP0 with any player.

  • Is there a way to auto sync playlists while manually managing your music?

    I used to use WMP11 before I bought an iPod and used iTunes, and in that I was able to auto sync playlists to my Samsung dap, as well as being able to manually drag tracks/albums to it.
    Since using iTunes, I have found it is not as accessible in this regard. Of course, you can opt to manually manage your music, but if you do this, it does not auto sync any info. This means that if I drag a playlist to my iPod and alter it at a later stage by adding more tracks, it won't alter it on the iPod unless I manually replace it with the amended one. It also means that any ratings that I set on my iPod do NOT get transfered to the tracks in iTunes when connected.
    What I have done is set a playlist called 'iPod Tracks' in iTunes, and have dragged any extra albums to my iPod using that, as well as the smart playlist 'Top Tracks'. But the disadvantage of this is, if I drag a few songs from an album into my 'iPod Tracks' playlist, then later decide I want the whole album and drag that over, I end up with two of the same tracks in the playlist, which makes it look very untidy (although I am aware only one of each track will be on the iPod) so it is not ideal.
    Surely there must be a way to auto sync playlists so that when you amend them in iTunes it does so on the iPod too, as well as manually drag over any extra tracks/albums you want without having a messy playlist work-around like I have done.
    Any help/ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no way to sync content back to itunes. As you are aware there are a couple of unsupported ways to recover your content, you will need to decide if your content is valuable enough to go down this route.
    If so and you are not comfortable with the procedures, I suggest taking the unit to a data recovery specialist with mac experience.

  • IPhone no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes

    iPhone 4 no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes after iOS5 upgrade.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the feedback.  Yes, it is very frustrating.  That was one functionality that worked very well.  Not only is the sort within the playlist bad but the sorting of the playlists themselves is bad.  I used to use an undetscore "-" to sort some of my folders to the top of the play list of the most played playlists and that does not work either.  It ignores the underscore and just sorts on the alpha character.  Hope this gets fixed. 

  • Can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries

    can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries. i have done a carbon copy of my home mac itunes library to a work mac.  i'll then switch itunes match on on the home mac, and i am assumign i won't need to redownload everything to my work mac.   my question is though, is it possibnle to use itunes match to just sync playlists as really i dont want to have to upload my contetn to the cloud as its nearly all not goign to be on itunes match in the cloud (obscure stuff).  so if i keep libraries in sync myself, can i jsut use match to sync my playlists?
    cheers

    No you can't. Match is an all or nothing service.
    However, depending on the size of your library and your upload speeds, you may be surprised at how quickly the match/upload process takes, and by the amount of stuff that does match.
    Depending on how big an issue the subscription fee is to you, it may be worth giving it a go. I use match mainly to keep my iTunes libraries in sync and it is the solution that I've been looking for for years.

  • Where do I find the "Sync Playlists" option for dual Nanos?

    In a recent answer to a post about more than one Ipod for one computer someone said use the Sync Playlists feature to seperate each persons music. Where is this? How do I do this exactly?
    I just put all the music from my library onto my wife's new Nano which I didn't want do. Now what?
    Thanks..........

    Hello, welcome to the Discussions.
    Connect one of your iPods to your computer.
    In iTunes, go to "Edit -> preferences -> iPod -> Music".
    Select the "Automatically update selected playlists" option for your iPod.
    Name and create a playlist for this iPod that you would like to sync music to.
    Choose that playlist for that iPod in iTunes Preferences.
    Now, eject this iPod, and connect the other one. Set it for "Automatically update selected playlists", like the instructions above.
    Here's the original article that explains how to manage multiple iPods: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    I hope this solves the question for you!

  • How to sync playlists between iTunes computers?

    Hi all
    I have a main server in the house that also acts as an iTunes server for streaming songs/movies etc to my various Apple TV's around the house.  The main server has iTunes on it (obviously), but I do not have easy access to the server as it is locked away in the loft of the house.  For day to day iTunes use I tend to use my laptop in my home office and that's where I tend to make up my playlists, arrange my music and do downloads from the iTunes store..
    The server in the loft is set to automatically transfer purchases made on my laptop and this generally works fine.  However, what I find frustrating is that my playlists do not sync, and any new tunes dowloaded and placed into playlists on my laptop are not automatically added to the correct playlist on the server (which is supposed to be an exact mirror of my laptop iTunes library).
    Would it be possible for apple to add an option to automatically sync playlists (to the /Settings/Home sharing,/automatically transfer new purchases: music, films, books, apps, Tv options)?... Or am I missing something and there's already an easy way to do this.  I can't believe i'm the only person that has this request, but i've searched the forum and can find nothing on this topic.
    Please get in touch if you need further clarification or if you are able to help me.
    Thanks
    Jem

    The feature you are asking about is not there so you are not missing anything. The only way to get Apple's attention regarding this matter is to send them feedback. If enough people request a feature maybe Apple will impliment it.

  • How to sync playlist in Zen X-Fi?

    Zen X-Fi 32GB
    Software version .04.08, recently installed
    Running Win XP SP3
    I need clarification on the proper procedure to sync playlists. I had several playlists on the player that got duplicated. For example Jazz was duplicated during sync as Jazz() and Jazz(2). Rather than edit the playlists I deleted all of them using the delete key on the player. I then tried to transfer current versions of the playlists from Creative Centrale via the Sync Manager. None of the current versions of the playlists will transfer to the player.
    I've performed player cleanup per instructions at: http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=208/page/3

    After much effort and frustration I've figured out to "transfer" playlists from Creative Centrale to the Zen X-Fi. The problem was that I thought playlists would sync on "automatic sync." Wrong.
    Instead, one has to transfer playlists from Creative Centrale manually, apparently one at a time, using the procedure at: http://203.2.42.97:80/srvs/cgi-bin/webcgi.exe/st=273,e=000000000087002422,k=9677,sxi=0,varset=ws :http://uk.europe.creative.com,case=52954
    (copy and paste this convoluted link)
    I find it very unintuiti've that playlists don't transfer with automatic sync (or even manual sync), especially since the sync manager displays "playlist" as a file category in the file comparison dialogue box.
    I hope this and my previous post save someone experiencing this problem hours of frustration that I've endured with this issue.

  • HT5637 How does itunes match sync playlists?

    How does itunes match sync playlists between my computer, ipad and ipod?

    It will tell you that the library exceeds the limit and will not proceed. So if you have more than the 25k limit (and keep in mind that iTunes Store purchases do not count against this limit) the only way you can use iTM is to move some music out of the library to get under the limit before signing up for the service.

  • Cannot create playlist using itune

    I cannot seem to create a playlist. I am using ITunes windows version and I IPhone 6 plus. When I connect and sync. Using ITunes I select File-New-playlist is greyed out it will not let me create a playlist on my IPhone.

    Ok, Done by creating separate playlist
    for each different folders. Only disadvantage is iPOD don't continue to the next playlist automatically, need to select next playlist manually. Wondering why is this so?

  • How to sync playlists in Home Sharing?

    Howdy.  How do I sync playlists in Home Sharing?  I have my Mac Mini as my "Master Jukebox".  It's the main place where purchases and playlists are created.  The problem I have is that I cannot find a way to conveniently sync playlists from "Master Jukebox" to, say, my MBP.  If I am on my MBP and drag a "Master Jukebox" playlist to my MBP, it makes duplicate copies of the files in my MBP library.
    What's the proper way to do this?

    Interesting question!
    I have the same problem. As a music-lover & DJ, I have a huge collection of songs (mostly ripped from CD's and vinyls) I would like to share around the home network.
    I use a PC with my main library and nicely ordened playlists. I allready was able to share the music with my Macbook Pro through Home Sharing, but as the playlists are nicely ordened, I would like to sync them to!
    I also use Traktor Scratch Pro for performing...
    Is there a way to do this?
    If this works, I also can sync the whole library (including the playlists) to a Mac Mini I use as media server in the livingroom...

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.
