It only creates the Artist, Album, etc. Playlists for tracks synced through selection from Collections. It doesn't do so when syncing a Playlist to the device.

Auto-creating playlists on ext. device?!

Hi!

I use MM do put MP3 Files on my USB-Stick for my car. I would like MM to create a playlist for each album and artist but it does not work out. What do I miss?

Here's how I've tried it:

Right-click on the device in tree view -> Properties

Tab: Options -> Settings: Playlists

"Sync playlists" --> checked
"Generate device playlists for: "Artists" -> checked; "Albums" -> checked
Destination directory: "\"
Force relative paths --> checked
Use unicode (UTF-8 encoding) for M3U playlists --> checked


But when I copy some songs to the device, no playlists are created in the root directory (or anywhere) on the device as I would suppose this function to do.

When I auto-sync, still no playlists are created. Do I miss the point?!

Thanks a lot,
Thomas
