How do you copy the existing Playlists onto a USB Flash sitck or SD card in Windows Media Player?
In WMP v12 on Windows 7, I can sync my Library's music (Albums etc...) no problem on to USB Flash Sticks and micro SDHC card etc. And I can copy Playlists onto my MP3 player no problem. However I cannot copy Playlists on any USB Flash Stick or micro SDHC
card. How can this be done?
Add a Sync Device to Windows Media Player and check if it helps.
a. Start Windows Media Player and connect your portable device into a USB port on your computer. A box "Windows Media Player -- Device Setup" box will pop up, showing
that it has recognized the device and provides an opportunity for you to name your device.
b. Read how the player will sync your device, which is directly under where you type in the name of the device. If the device's storage is more than 4 gigabytes,
as an example, and your library on Windows Media Player will fit on that device, the player will choose automatic.
c. Selection of automatic sync means that your device will mirror your entire Windows Media Player library and will do so each time it is connected. Click "Finish."
d. To sync only some of your library, when the Player has chosen automatic, you can choose what will sync when you open Windows Media Player. Click on the portable
device in the right pane, and drag the items you want to sync to that device.
e. Selection of a manual sync indicates that the player detected that the portable device does not have room for your entire library. Click "Finish." Open Windows
Media Player, select the portable device in the right pane, and drag the items you want to sync to that device.
