I am having the same problem. We just purchased this and want to use the playlists to organize the music. Any ideas.

You must create the playlists in Windows Media Player first before you transfer them to the device. It is not possible to create a playlist on this player on the fly.

With your device plugged into your computer, are you following these instructions? This is the only way to get playlists on your device.

1. Launch Windows Media Player from Windows desktop or Start menu.

2. To transfer files from your computer to your device, click Copy to CD or Device (WMP 9)or
Sync(WMP 10) tab.

3. In the Items to Copy pane, in the drop-down list, click the playlist, category, or other item that you want to copy.

4. Clear the check boxes next to any files you do not want to copy.

5. In the Items on Device pane, in the drop-down list, click the device that you want to copy files
to. i.e. Philips GoGear*.

6. Click the Copy (WMP 9) or Start Sync(WMP 10) button.

Once this is done, you should see your Playlists under the "Music" menu.

Ron,
I followed the instructions. I have constructed 3 playlists in WMP10. I clicked sync. In the drop down list I clicked the plays list. On the MP3 player, the tracks showed up in all tracks! and no play list "at all" appeared! could it be a problem in my MP3?

Did you specifically click on the playlists to sync? If so, might be a problem with your device.

I followed the same instructions and having the same issues as titan67. Should we call Philips and see what they say? I can't return mine because of it being a present. Please Advise!

At this point, I would call them. Your device should still be under warranty. Let everyone know what you find!

I have tried all above steps, with no success, also have stumbled upon something on philips faq/site that said to use MusicMatch JukeBox to transfer playlists to the player, with no success their either. This seems like a frustrating feature that never got finished if you ask me. Also, their site has said for the last 4 months that they will release updated firmware for WMP11 after it is out of beta, it has been for just over 2 months, and still nothing from Philips. This company sounds like a joke if you ask me.
