Playlists

I don’t do it in a program and then upload it into the sansa, it seems to do it right on the device.  Here are the steps I take:

 

  1. I connect the sansa
  1. Go into ‘my computer’ click on ‘sansa fuze 4 gb’
  1. Click on ‘Internal Memory’ then it has several folders
  1. Then I go to music
  1. I highlight the songs I want
  1. Right click and it has a drop down menu
  1. Select ‘create playlist’ and it makes the list always called ‘new playlist’
  1. Then I can rename it if I want.  

 

If it matters, I use Windows Vista to view the files and it says the playlist is a ‘PLA file’ and the songs are there in the order I want.  I hope this helps - I really don’t know what else to tell you.  

This is Windows Media Player’s integration with Windows Explorer.  So even though it’s not obvious, you are using WMP and your USB mode is MTP.  In general, the procedure you describe should work fine.  However, WMP is pretty flaky and I believe you can run into problems if you are manually creating playlist and also automatically syncing with WMP.  It’s probably best to stick to one method or the other.

Also, make sure you have the latest FW for your Fuze.
