Making playlists - Motorola Q Forum

mexiken · 05-08-2008, 10:06 PM

So, I kinda have a question. Hopefully someone can help me with the way to do it without me having to play around with it too long.

I have full songs in a folder, and ringtones in another folder, both are on my storage card. I used to be able to make two playlists easy because the ringtones were on my phone. Now, since I moved it all to my card, it lumps it all together. Anyone know of an easy way to seperate the two ???? They are in different folders.

And #500. Yay

The easiest way to make a playlist is to use WMP. Copy your ringtones to WMP library in PC. Once in library, Create a playlist (call it ringtones or whatever you want). Add ringtones to that playlist. Then drag playlist to Storage Card (assuming that's were you synced WMP to) folder under sync tab. Click 'start sync'.

Open WMP in device > now playing > menu > library > my playlists. If everything was done correctly, it should appear here.

could the playlist editor in this thread help you maybe ?

I will try both options, and see what works better. Thanks for the replies fellas.

I was a little shocked to see that this really hasn't been asked before. Guess not too many people use the phone as an mp3 player as well, or at least a back up one for my car when I forget my mp3 player in the house.

Actually, I use it all the time, now that I figured out how to get music to show up in correct folders (see earlier posts on this!)....I looked at the program RB suggested, and I think I will download this when I get home.

Thanks in advance, RB! Also, Thanks, Mexiken for asking! Now I may have something else to play with!!

Sounded a bit too complicated, so I tried the other one first. But sounds like a sound way to get the files linked up.

why not use TCPMP? It does what your looking for.

Maybeso (haven't tried it), but on my Q Global, it doesn't play videos right. It kept blacking out the screen when WMP would play the same videos. So after a month or so, I ended up uninstalling it and just living with WMP.
