I have found that the Fuze compartmentalizes music based on the transfer protocol used (MTP or MSC).&nbsp; I had difficulty creating a playlist because when I connected my computer with the MTP setting, I could only see the few songs I had transferred using that protocol.&nbsp; Unfortunately, for me, MTP was the ONLY setting that allowed me to generate a playlist.&nbsp; When I switched back to MSC, I could see all of my songs, but could not generate a playlist.&nbsp; So, I fully updated windows media player and then erased all of the songs on my fuze.&nbsp; I then switch the Fuze back to MTP setting and re-syc’ed.&nbsp; Now all of my songs are available in MTP mode and I can create a playlist with windows media player.&nbsp; After creating the playlist, getting it onto the MP3 player is a matter of dragging and dropping onto the sync task list and then sync’ing.&nbsp; Alternatively, you can open the Fuze as a USB device (still in MTP mode), go to the playlist folder, copy and paste the .PLA file into the same folder.&nbsp; Rename the file.&nbsp; Erase or rearrange the songs under the “reference” tab and then drag and drop songs from the song list on your MP3 player (open same USB device in a different window not the WMP list of songs).&nbsp; I hope this helps.
