Title: Help - Wmp10 Synchronisation Of Playlists
Post by: simon on December 26, 2005, 04:42:59 am
Hi, I'm a new user of WMP10 and have an Archos 700. What I would like to do is build playlists on WMP10 (PC) and then synchronise the tracks AND playlists to the Archos......seems simple enough, yes?

So - I build a test playlist of 20 tracks across a number of albums on the laptop, attach device, set up synch and click "start". The 20 tracks all go across to the mobile device, but the playlist does not?
So - I am left with 20 tracks that I have to manually create a playlist from on the Archos?

Also tried saving the playlist as a .m3u and dragging across. Of course this does not work....no doubt it is looking for the files on the laptop, not the Archos.

Am I just flipping stupid ??    

Thanks for any help.

Simon

Hi, I am having the same issue with my xs 202, I just don't see how I can get a playlist from wmp into my player.  Before this I owned a creative zen, and the synchronization of playlists went flawless, so I wonder if this is a problem with the player of maybe I am just forgetting something.

Thanks a lot,

Frank

I sent a mail to customer support and they said I had to download a firmware update, and now everything seems to work fine.  This was for a xs202 but maybe it is the same for your player.

Thanks for the thought - I have loaded latest firmware updates and will see how that goes.
