can you build & edit playlits on the device itself, or do they need to be created and imported on the desktop?

At the moment the X5 does not have support for any playlists, I asked FiiO a question about playlists and here' their answer "Kindly inform you that, our software engineers are trying to add .m3u playlist into the X5's firmware." I also ran across a thread on head-fi dot org that has FiiO asking the users for input on the requirements, so I suspect they will be coming in the future, but at the moment it can't use or create playlists.**Update 9/14/14*** FiiO has released 2.20 code that has playlist support. I've been using it since beta2.05 and it's worked ok. It's a little rudimentary and you need to edit the m3u files, but it works. Now you can have it's great sound along with playlist support.

No. Or at least not easily. You can use the free foobar2000 (for Windows) or the £14.99 Dipper for Mac OSX to do it. This has been a bit of a disappointment for me, especially as "Playlists" appear in the X5's menu system

m3u playlists are supported with firmware versions 2.2 and later. First line of m3u file needs to be #EXTM3U. Use TF1 for first micro sd card slot and TF2 for second micro sd slot. Playlists can be created on the X5 itself, but you have to add each song to the playlist. More than one playlist can be created using the X5. I don't believe they can be renamed from the name generated by the X5 (e.g. Playlist2). As far as editing goes, individual songs or the entire Playlist can be removed using the X5.So for any playlist of more than a few songs you are probably better off creating it on the PC and copying it to the X5 rather than creating it on the X5. m3u playlists are supported with firmware versions 2.2 and later.

You can see them as files in a folder, the you could also download and keep, but can not play if you want.But if what you want is playing you can download any game play store and play.

Everything except the motion/zone stuff doesn't load right without the plugin. Also the in browser stream won't play. Can still set resolution, text/date overlay, and all that for use with your software of your choice.

I've never used that setting, but I don't think so. There is software that plays in that format.

You cannot create playlists on-the-fly on the device - you have to use either Winamp or Windows Media Player to create and transfer them (or Napster, actually). Amazingly, Sony's new "Media Manager" cannot create playlists, or even import them.

I don't remember other than reading the instructions which I think explained how to set it up. I've played several different formats without problem.

Actually you can. All 3 tracks are editable with the software. The software interface is kind of hokey, but it does work.

Yes you can create a playlist BUT it only plays them in order and if it is for business use, the songs have to be unlicensed. Look up creative commons. Hope this helps

No, you cannot make playlists on the go, only while connected to the PC. Honestly, you should look at other MP3 players, this one is a real disappointment.

Although it is not specifically stated, you should go the "IMPORT MEDIA" button on the tool bar. This allows you to iport various media to the project window. You should, then, be able to insert it where you wish in the audio timeline.

You cannot add new games from the internet. (ie - adding a new app) - it does not work. No instructions on how to do it either. I have a mac, and the disc that comes with the player does not work with it. The paper instructions are not very useful, as they only show a few steps like how to turn on and plug into a computer. I was able to add songs, but had to make sure and convert the songs from my itunes first before I could upload.

If the games are dumb you cant add more? Also can you move desktop icons around?

You can create playlists within the player. You can add, delete from Playlist using touch screen interface.

No, you can't add more games, but I only cared about it playing HD videos and music. Most cheap players have dumb games, but I that is for copyright reasons. Connecting it to my TV with the tv-out feature was also important but it doesn't transfer full 720p quality. And, the desktop icons can't be moved around on this player or most cheap ones.This one is actually only $5 more that other one that I bought from the same company but that one is a lot more popular so they keep the price at $50 for it even though it is about 3 years old. The other player was ok but it is just plain awful when you compare it to this one. No, you can't add more games, but I only cared about it playing HD videos and music.

The player will play music from a CD or a Sims Card and a USP Flash Drive. It will give you the music but not the Lyrics . MP3+G or CD+G in the player will give you the Lyrics on the screen. I think that I have had mine over a year not and I just Love it. One on the main things that I like is the Song List. You can fill your flash and after it loads it you can press Create Song List and it will create one and put it on your flash drive so you can plug it into your computer and print it. Also it will assign it's own number for each song. You can look through your list and when you see the one you want then just key the assigned number and it will take you right to it. But remember that you have to have what ever input MPG+3 format for it to show the video data. And when you are just play music it will not show the song list. I seen where Travis put that in his answer and he is correct. Hope this has help you.

Yes you can. As long as it is in a supported format that iTunes or quicktime player can play. Converters for this can be found through google most are free.
