I am only interested in playing custom playlists. Does it keep an original playlist intact and not split music into album format?

Playlist will be intact and will not split music into album format or genre. However, Playlist must be created under the following programs: For Windows: Windows Media Player and Media Go (format must be .pla and .m3u respectively). And for Mac, playlist must be under iTunes (.m3U). Hope this helps. -Ely

Yeah, it acts just like another drive. You just drag the music files over. Very simple. Great player.

thanks for your question i do have music on the player but only in one folder but it should play separate folders so yes it will play separate folders it is a very good music player if your music files have album art associated with them it will show album art- its like this if you have one song in one folder then you have another folder in the same folder that has a lot of songs as the one song in the one folder it will play the songs in the folder after playing the first song hope that makes sense -----lol

Absolutely, I have a variety of folders set up (example soft rock, Jimmy Buffet, Instrumentals, etc. I have them on a 16 Gig micro SD card. There is a button to skip folders and buttons to skip songs.... Sound is great for its size

While I have not used this feature, I think that you can make your own playlists. You would use iTunes to create the playlists I believe. But, my adult children have many playlists so it must be possible.

It technically has an MP3 player but it doesn't cycle through your playlist like it should. It stays on repeat until you change the song and then repeats that song aswell.

I think you can print your playlist in I-tunes, but other than that, you just need to get to know your song list. This is a very simplistic machine. You have one playlist. You can listen to them in order or shuffle them. Period.

Yes it does, II don't use them so often because I use personalized folders instead, but there are two main functions in the menu so you can use your own playlist. The first one is "Playlist" wich you can edit in your computer and then transfer it to the device And the second one is "bookmark", in this one you create your list from the files within the Walkman, no software or PC connection needed.

iTunes, windows media player, or just drag and drop. The only thing I don't like is how it switches folders so I leave my albums as on big mp3 rather than break up tracks

Yes you can shuffle, you can shuffle everything, the songs within an album, the songs within a genre, or the songs by an artist. That said, mine has the peculiarity that after it's been playing in shuffle mode for a while it takes itself out of shuffle mode and starts playing all the songs in alphabetical order. Must be some sort of software bug. But not a problem. Just takes three clicks to put it back in shuffle mode.

The tracks do not automatically separate. The Audacity software that came with the unit allowed me to download, but make sure follow the directions in the brief booklet that comes with the program, b/c on my first attempt the songs downloaded in a number of truncated pieces. I am making my second attempt soon!

I still haven't figured out how to make the playlist. but to install songs are very simple. I just use the random function to play songs now. the controls is a bit weird at first but a day of using it you should be fine

Yes you just have to set up a play list in advance, or jump around your music to find what you want. I have different play lists for different activities.

yes it has shuffle function. I read some complaints from other viewer saying that it doesn't shuffle all musics when they have a lot of musics in it. For me personally I don't shuffle musics but I create different folders and use folder play depending on the mood. It is totally up to your choice.

I haven't tried to sync that way. I added all my music at one time and now just add specific songs and albums individually. The format is simple enough to add and delete at will. I'm sorry I can't answer your specific question. I will try syncing on my next update. Remember, with 2 separate folders in the unit, it's fairly easy to make changes whenever you want.

Yes. You can even create permanent playlists on the fly. This device has an amazing amount of features.

If I recall, it can make playlists on the go. I returned mine. After being a Creative user for many years, I found this to be absolutely horrible.
