Windows Media Player Playlists to Visio

Hello,
I just purchased a Zen Vision M. I have several playlists made in my music library on Windows Media Player 0. The format of these lists are .m3u. Can someone tell me how to transfer the complete playlist to the Vision M?
I tried it using the software that came with the device, however it transferred the songs as individual tracks instead of a whole playlist.
Suggestions?

I saw that post... but it doesn't match the screen in Windows Media Player 0. On the Sync tab there is a Start Sync button a Edit Playlist button and Set up Sync button. The 'Set up Sync' button is always disabled.
I can't figure out how to get the playlists downloaded to the Zen Touch. Windows Media Player 0 would be the way to go if I could get the playlists to download.
I have played around over and over with the screens etc... I just can't figure out how to make them download with the Zen Touch anyway... 40 gig, for what it's worth.
If someone has been able to do this with a Zen Touch, I would love to know how to do it.

    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>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>
            <meta name="ItemCount" content="161"/>

                <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

    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.

  • 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.

  • Importing Windows Media Player playlist into itunes is possible?

    Please Help!
    Is there any way to import a WMP(*.m3u, *.txt or whatever) playlist into iTunes?
    I just want to know it is possible or not, because I am tired of making same playlists for WMP and iTunes everytime for several devices.

    Yes, though as I recall iTunes wants absoulte file paths. You either need to edit the playlist before import or use a script I wrote called ImportM3U which, as a bonus, can convert any unprotected WMA files on the fly and add them to the playlist.
    BTW, if you're going to try to get WMP & iTunes to share playlists you'd better disable any options for automatically organizing files. See Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely for more info.

  • Windows Media Player Playlists

    Is there anyway to convert them in the kind that MediaSource uses so i can put them on my Zen Xtra? Sorry if this has been asked.

    MediaSource will import playlists of a number of formats. Press the Import button and select Import External Playlists. Then choose options and check the types of playlists you want (asx, b4s, m3u, pls, wpl). Find your playlists and import them.
    I just tried with asx, m3u and wpl format plylists set up and saved from WMP and they all imported into MediaSource OK though I had to close CMS down and restart it to get the playlists to show up properly.

  • 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?

    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.
    Thank you,

  • How do i get my playlist from my windows media player to my creative

    can anyone tell me how to get the playlist I created in my windows media player to sync into my creative zen ?

    I don't think you can. Since they use different type of format for the playlist files. Just make a new one with the programs that came with ur zen.

  • 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.

  • Importing Playlists from Windows Media Player

    I was wondering if there was any way I could transfer all of my music from my Windows Media Player library, to my iTunes library. I have tried import on the "File" button on iTunes, but it didn't work.

    If it' sprotectged WMA files, no you can't add them.

  • Problem with "play to device" on windows media player

    Hello, I'm having a problem with the play to device feature of windows media player.  I am trying to use it to play music files to my T.V.  It works fine if i try to play a single file or a small number of files (50 or so), but if I try to play
    my entire playlist (346 songs, if it matters)in this way or a large number of random songs, nothing happens.  No error messages or freezes either, it's as if i never clicked play.  I thought this might be a limitation with the t.v. or my network
    (im doing this via wi-fi) but when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs.  Therefore, i know this is a problem with windows media
    player and not my t.v., network or computer.  This is a problem because i don't want to play all my music, just my playlist.  Short of making a separate folder with duplicate files in it for each and every playlist i want to play in this manner(which
    is not only time consuming and tedious but takes up space on my hard drive)  how do i remove this limitation or otherwise get around it?  Thanks!
    P.S.  Out of curiosity, why does this limitation exist and what causes it?

     when i tried this using windows explorer instead of windows media player it worked just fine, and this was with all the music on my computer which is about 3000 songs.  
    Hi,
    According to your description,you said that you used windows explorer.Did you share 3000 songs with your TV?
    If so,I think this method is different with "play to" feature.
    Also,we haven't found any limitation with Windows media player.

  • How can I copy my iTunes library to windows media player?

    Hi, I've spent all morning trying to consolidate all my music into Windows Media Player...so I can make playlists, etc. iTunes seems to be pretty tough....I've moved the library file around....copied, etc. and I can't seen to paste it into Windows Media Player. My itunes library has about 50 purchased songs, and another 100 from my own CDs.
    Does anyone know how to do this? I'm getting really irritable over this!!!
    Thanks in advance!

    The iTunes purchased songs will not transfer to Windows Media Player. Unless you have the iTunes Plus versions, iTunes purchased files are copy protected.
    There is nothing preventing you from adding the other files to Windows Media Player except for maybe file format. Did you rip the CDs to AAC or MP3 format. Don't know if WMP can play AAC. WMP has no problems with MP3.
    To add MP3 files to WMP just add them using WMP functions.
