I found an easy way to do the playlist (at least if you have Windows8, not sure about lower versions)…
I had organized my music the way I liked it, and was very upset when I tried to create a playlist as recommended through WMP to find WMP ripped out my organization and organized things in a way I disliked ALOT…
So I asked CS if I could do a playlist without WMP… They gave me instructions to create one through a text file by hand entering all the files (Yeah Right)…
So I went surfing the net to find out how to create a directory list into a text file… I got a few but most were at the DOS command and I was unsure how to navigate to the sandisk players folders as it didn’t have a letter drive…
Then I found one I thought would work, and started to go through the steps and found to my delight that although I didn’t see an option to create a directory list, I was offered an option to create a playlist… It worked… And it was simple !.. I thought I would pass it on to others who dislike WMP as much as I did.
- Move to the music directory on your sandisk.
- Either select all the songs you want in your playlist by selecting the songs holding the <ctrl> button, or if you have grouped your playlist songs into a folder, enter the folder and hit <ctrl>A to select all the songs.
- Hit <shift> + right click… In the option list choose the option “Create a playlist”
- “New playlist.pla” will be created at the bottom of the folder, rename the file to what is meaningful, leaving the extension “.pla”
- You are done the new playlist will now show up when you display playlists on your sansa player.
