Playlists
A playlist is a list of digital media files that play in a specified order. By using
playlists, you can group audio and video files together for convenient
playback.
In Windows Media® Player on your PC, you can create playlists and
synchronize them with your phone.
In Windows Media® Player Mobile on your phone, playlists are available
in the Library under the My Playlists category. There is also a temporary
playlist, called Now Playing, which lists the currently playing file, as well
as any files that have been queued up to play next. You can create a new
playlist on your device by saving the current Now Playing playlist and by
giving it a new name.
To save a new playlist
1. If you are not on the Library screen, select Menu > Library.
2. Select a category (for example, My Music or My Playlists).
3. Select a media file that you want, then select Menu > Queue Up. This
adds the file to the Now Playing list.
Repeat this step until you have added all desired media files to the
Now Playing list.
Note You cannot select multiple files simultaneously.
4. After adding the media files, select Menu > Now Playing.
5. On the Now Playing screen, select Menu > Save Playlist.
