Playlist creation - help

Hi! Can anyone say me how to create playlists in Media Panel and Windows Media Player?
I know I can create a playlist and add single tracks to it in Media Panel, but I want to put in the playlist whole folder. Help pls

use any player on PC, select tracks and savelist as m3u

But I have music on X1. Is it possible to make a playlist with folders in X1? Most SE phones have easy setup of playlists... Even if its HTC made with WinMo it shouldnt make problems with music...

Playlist on the new Media Panel

One of the best things about the new media panel is that it is able to use asx playlist files which are saved in the phone.
But this is driving me crazy.
Does sombody know how to make a playlist on your computer which works with the new media player?
I created 5 Playlist in my computer, when I connected the phone as a harddrive.
I saved them as asx datas, but only one of them work, the rest is shown as emty in the medial panel.
Has anyone a solution for this? I don't wont to creaty a playlist with the MediaPanel because it's a pain to add every single song to a playlist.

Noob Needing Help with Media Player/HTC Player

I would like to use Media Player to manage my music. However, I also have an iPod that I'd like to continue using. Currently iTunes contains 15,000+ songs. I would like to put about 1000 songs on my HD2. Can someone tell me:
1. Can Media Player manage mp3 and m4a files?
2. Can I keep all of my music in the current iTunes directories?
3. Can I use Media Player without creating duplicate files?
4. Will all Media Player playlists be independent of iTunes and not cause problems?
5. Can ratings be added to mp3 and m4a files in Media Plyer without corrupting the files for iTunes?
I saw a instruction list somewhere on this forum that had a step by step setup process for Media Player to the HD2., but can't find it. Can someone point me to it.
Thanks in advance.

all you need is itunes agent - have used this for quite a while to sync music to my former N82 and my present HD2.
ita.sourceforge.net
Follow these steps:
1) Create a playlist in itunes with the songs you want to copy over
2) connect your memory card via a USB card reader (or connect the HD2 in data transfer and not active sync). It is important that the memory card is represented as a drive in Explorer
3) Follow the instructions on the itunes agent documentation: ita.sourceforge.net/docs.html
let us know how it went...
p.s - mods: unable to post external URL's. Could you pls verify my account? Thanks in advance!

Works well, nowhere in the instructions did it mention you manually have to set up your device in the preferences, but yeah, once you do that it's smooth sailing.
It's actually pretty amazing you can sync with iTunes, never thought that would be possible.
Have to give the phone a soft reset for Sense's music player to display the newly synced songs unfortunately. It's a real shame they couldn't bring this core part of the phone up to scratch and make it useable. If I wasn't tech savvy I would really, really despise this phone.

Lets see how long it takes Apple to stifle this innovation. Hopefully they wont find it as its a small sourceforge project...

Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!

Thanks for the responses. I have Pocket Tunes, which is OK for moving iTunes music to and from the HD2. However, I'm specifically interested in understanding how Windows Media Player works with HTC's player for organizing music.

Media Player/HTC Music Player and iTunes/iPod Use

I currently have all of my music (15,000+ songs) set up for use with Itunes/iPod. I would like to try to use Windows Media Player with the HD2. However, I am concerned about letting Media Player access my files that are currently cataloged in iTunes.
1. Can I set up Media Player so that it accesses the mp3 and m4a files but doesn't copy or move the files from the iTunes folder?
2. If I add the music to the Media Player system, can I rate the music in the Media Player without changing or disrupting the music files themselves?
3. Can Media Player playlists be created without disrupting the iTunes system?
If you currently are using Media Player/HTC Player AND iTunes/iPod successfully, can you tell me if there are any issues that need dealing with? Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player. I'm assuming that using Media Player to create lists is easier and more secure than creating lists from manually copied files.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way I recommend which I my self did is Find your Itunes library on your computer copy it to your HD2's storage Card and from there do whatever you like.

From my original post: "Up until now I've been manually copying music to the HD2. Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of corruption issue if I delete files that I've added to playlists from within the HD2 Player."

As far as I know you should delete songs from the folder that you have your music in it usually on your storage card that should not be any problem,another way is that you use the ActiveSync to sync your music files from your computer to your device,in this way whenever you add or delete a music file on your PC it will be automaticaly synced to your Phone,this sure is the better way.

MP3-Player and Playlists with Kies

Hi,
i got my sgs yesterday and i am wondering why the stock mp3-player does not recognize playlists which i sync with kies. the mp3 files will be synced, also the *.pla playlist file, but the player doesn't show it. my whole music library is based on playlists and i don't want change this. I also tried doubletwist which can read *.m3u files but, because of the lagging problem i have, it's impossible to use this. I also do not want to flash my phone after 2 days of usage.
Is there any way to create playlists on pc which i can use with the default mp3-player? I also tried creating playlists directly in the player but for me its too circumstantial doing this for 20 compilations.
I am pleased for any advice.

same problem for me cant seem to transfer awhole playlists in PC to SGS with kies,really like Samsung Music Player but because of this thing i have to use Doubletwist

If you use mixZing, it'll be able to read your .m3u playlist files, and if i may add, it got one of the most advanced equalisers on the market.
