Playlists in WMP10

How do I make playlists?

It is possible to add to the "Now playing list" by browsing your media library and tapping and holding.

This is inconvenient and some people have more luck than others actually getting the list to save (it seems it may under WM5, but it didn't in the version with WM2003.)

I said the heck with it all and wrote my own free playlist editor you can download and install from my website: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/

Give it a try and hopefully it will make it easier to use WMP10.

I cant even find where to save...

I've heard of it saving automatically? I don't know. I use my program ;)

I just organize my music into different folders by band etc, it it still a pain in the beep but it keeps it more organized for me.

Cannot find the "+" symbol in WM5 as there is no toolbar.

No toolbar? I'm running WM5 on my x50v and it's there. I've also tested it in the emulator with no problems. Do you have any sort of theme program like Wisbar running that might be obscuring the bottom bar?

Maybe post a screenshot or give me some more details and we'll get it to work. Did you try a soft reset?

Jon Utility works great with WM5! Here is how to use it.
1-Open the program
2-I assume you have your music stored in one folder and you want to create a playlist from; just click on Edit, Import. If you add individual songs, go to #4
3-Browse (use the softkey UP, etc..) to your folder and select it
4-Use the + button to add more songs
5-Save the playlist to your storage card - It is best to create a folder prior to this (e.g. \Storage Card\My Playlist) and give it a name
6-You can create additional Playlists if needed..
7-Upon completion, turn on WMP10, Menu, Update library; search, done...
8-Your Playlists will be recognized by WMP10 library (Make sure you select your Storage Card where your songs & Playlists are located)
9-Now, just go to Library in WMP10 and use drop down menu to select PlayList then click on softkey Play
10-If you have new songs to add; just use Jon's utility again, load the playlist, Add more songs...You do not need to update WMP10 library again.

I've just downloaded Jon's s/w and it works great! Problem I'm having is it plays 1 song from playlist and then will not proceed to next song in the list. I'm sure it's something I'm over-looking, being I'm a new AXIM user, X51v for XMAS. Could someone please help, Thanks!
