EDIT: Figured it out. Besides, screw using windows media player. S2p, Nitrogen, much more finger friendly. Thanks anyways.
I cannot sync my desktop WMP11playlist to windows mobile media player. This is how I accces and listen to online radio streams. Within WMP11 i have created many .wpl playlists files of various radio streams. I would like to sync these playlist of radio streams to my windows mobile. I want to be able launch windows mobile media player and be able to play the radio streams saved as playlist. Specifically, I have saved a sky.fm radio stream as a playlist in desktop WMP11 and it shows as a playlist in my playlist folder as "sky.fm (80's).wpl." Under playlist in WMP11 it shows this playlist as "sky.fm (80's)." I select the playlist, drag it to the sync bar and then select sync with device. Less than a second later it shows "sync completed." However, in the corresponding folder in my windows mobile nothign shows and thus I cannot play the .wpl playlist file with windows mobile media player. It does not appear to sync the playlist.
I thought I would try to copy over my desktop playlist folder with this "sky.fm (80's).wpl" file into my windows mobile device and the storage card. In both place I see this folder; however, when I slect the file to play, It says something to the effect of no program is asscoaited with that file type.
Why is this? Does the windows mobile media player not allow sycning of playlist between desktop media player and mobile? Is it because the mobile version cannot play/recognize .wpl? If so, then why does it say "sync completed" on the desktop side?
Any help would be appreciated or workaround. Also, I am aware of other apps that allow me to access radio streams for my mobile, but those do not meet a requirement i have. I save radio stream playlist because they allow me to access them via 7MC (media center), WMP11, and was hoping windows mobile media player. Thats my end goal.
Well, found the answer. Apparently windows mobile media playter cannot not play .wpl playlist files of streams that the dektop version saves.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create or to copy my playlist from the computer to my Magician, but I couldn't! I don't know how to do it.
If I copy the .WPL from my PC to Magician, it doesn't open. When I'm using the Pocket Microsoft Media Player 10, my library have a lists of Playlists, but it's always empty and I don't know how to create one.
Can anyone help me please?
The playlists hold a definitive list of where a file is stored. If you have the stuff in "my music" then the files will be in c:\Documents And Settins\ (Username)\My Documents\My Music, and as such all files in the playlist will be listed in this location, and as this location does not exist in the device, it cannot find the files. You also need to copy the actual music files across, not just the wma files (Music files are mp3, wma, etc.)
If you want to use the device as an MP3 player, you should really get a storage card to store the music on.

I think you got me wrong. I already have a Storage Card and about 100 WMA files. The Library on MP is OK, but I have no Customized Playlists. That's what I want.
Got it?
Thanks!
Ok as to making playlists in Pocket Windows Media Player, i have no idea. i just had a look at my universal and i cant see the option.
Hoiwever, in the program that i use instead of WMP (Pocket music from pocketmind.com), you can make, view and edit playlist easily, plus it has a nice today screen plugin.
so one can not make new playlists in windows media player
The Pocket PC version of Windows Media Player does not allow you to create or edit playlists. But there is a freeware program for it!

re:
HI THere are umpteen no. of Third Party playlist editors available.
you can create & Manage playlists using these TPA's
you can create a playlist on your PC and sync the whole list, using windows media player of your PC.
Then the playlist will be in a folder "Playlists" (the Music will go to "Music").
hy,
gives an program where can create an htc audiomanager playlist
not with the htc audiomanager i have many of 100 mp3 ringtones of my trion
and many mp3 files in different folders..
The AudioManger mixed both.. and a playlist to create with the manager is
impossible..
greets tk
I manage my Files with Media Player 11 on the PC and sync with the Storage Card of my PPC.
U can choose wich Files and Playlist should be synced.
U will see the playlists and files in the Media Player on PPC, and also in the HTC Audiomanager.
i have no windows on my desktop pc, iam using linux,
i send the mp3 files direct to the storage card, without syncing,
and the audiomanager search the complete pda, he cannot read m3u playlist.
the windows media player mixed the files too... not an different.. to the htc..
i think i must create self the playlist on my desktop pc and send them to the pda..
greets tk
It reads playlist in /Application Data/HTC/Audiomanager/playlist
The playlist file has not extention.
Make a playlist with some program, delete extention and try.
I try the reverse operation, and work.
Playlist Manager
Try this playlist manager to create play list and play with media player. Its freely available from freewarepocketpc.net.
thanks.. for this file
I'm looking for a way to convert windows media player playlists to either windows media player mobile playlists or to work with the HTC Touch Pro 2 software media player software. I have playlists created in my desktop Windows Media Player and would prefer not to re-create them all. Anyone know of a way to do this? I've searched and haven't found anything.
I had a terrible time getting my playlists to sync. Music went fine but no playlists. I finally just did a copy/paste of the .asx files to my card and everything went fine from there.
Can anyone provide me with Windows media player playlist creator ... So that i can create playlist on computer and save it on mobile to play it ...
Moved as not software release.
Don't use WMP on phone but surely it can read .m3u playlist files? PocketPlayer does
So you can create the playlist on computer "i use Winamp" then just copy files and .m3u to phone.
Hi,
attached cab is a little playlistmanager.
with friendly greet

I am using this freeware, Playlist Creator, on my WinXP PC.
http://www.oddgravity.de/app-opc.php
easier way
Well neither of those suggestions work on my HTC HD2 especially considering m3u is not native to WMP
so..
You can either create your playlists in Windows Media Player on PC but obviously with the files on your phones memory card, and choose File -> Save Now playing List as...
then choose 'any type' and call your playlist 'untitled.asx' or whatever as long as it ends in asx
otherwise i used Winamp its much easier to create playlists (m3u) and/or if you already have .m3u's just drag and drop them into the now playing in WMP and save as above
- save any .asx to the root folder of music drive of your phone
hope thats clear enough
