How to build a playlist in MM to use on iPod?

I've been trying to create a playlist in MM to use on my iPod, but when I sync it up with my iPod it looks like it's transferring files to my iPod. Shouldn't it only sync up the playlist file?

Are you not able to create a playlist in MM with already existing tracks on the iPod?

Anyone have any info??

I don't have any playlists on my ipod. I want to make them from the music on my ipod in MM, but when I do it creates duplicates.

What am I doing wrong??

I have the same question. Is there a way to create a playlist from the music I have only on my ipod. When I create a playlist in MM, it duplicates the files on the ipod, i.e., when it syncs, it transfers another copy of the song to the ipod. Is there a simple way to transfer only the playlist, and not a complete copy of the mp3 file to the ipod?

Is there a way to sync AutoPlaylists to the IPOD? currently it doesn't do that. and just duplicates the song on the Ipod. once for the general library, and once every time its in an auto playlist. ive got 6900 some songs in the library, and in the Autoplaylists that exist are another 500 it seems, because the total tracks on the IPOD is 7400 some....

I have a question. Will this allow me to follow the same syncing process for my ipods, and my X5? I'd like to be able to use the same playlists for my different players. I've got a Karma too, and I don't think MM will work with it. I"m hoping someone here can correct me!!
