Manage your playlists
1 Go to the Library screen and select Playlists .
2 All your playlists appear. You can do the following from this screen:
Load your own playlists
You can create your own playlists then load them on your SD card for access through the Music
Player. The playlist formats supported are M3U, WPL, and PLS.
To create a M3U playlist, do the following:
1 On your computer, open a simple text file for editing.
2 On separate lines, list all the music file names you want included in your playlist.
Note: The names you list in the file should be the names that appear when you view the contents
of your SD card through your computer’s file system, not the names that appear in the list of
songs on your phone. Your phone will simplify the names and not include track numbers or file
extensions, like .mp3.
3 Your M3U playlist could look something like this:
All Is Quiet.mp3
01 Amazing Grace.mp3
04 Angel Food.mp3
Artist’s Life (new).mp3
4 Save the text file, using .m3u as the file name extension (e.g., MySongs.m3u).
5 Follow the instructions in “Load music onto your SD card” on page 105 to copy the file to your
SD card. You don’t have to, but it’s advisable to copy the playlist to a “Playlist” folder in your
“Music” folder.
