How to sync playlists on a SanDisk Sansa

[IronEagle]

OK, After a lot of research, I thought to post this for anyone that needs.

Sansa Fuze, and other Sansa, use a .PLA playlist format. When connecting the Sansa, make sure you use the MTP USB mode, and not the MSC mode (Setting -> Device Setting -> USB Mode).

In MM, go to the Sync options and select the Sansa. Open the options for the Sansa, and select the playlists you want to sync, then head on to "Device Configuration".

If you use several playlists like me, you might want to use the folder format of "\Music\<Playlist>\<Filename>".

Under "Copy Playlists", click "Options", and make sure ALL FOUR selections are checked, and that destination reads "\Playlists\".

Click "OK", and you're pretty much done...

After you next sync your Sansa, you sould be able to use the palylists you want, without using the Windows Media Player, or any other conversion tools.

A warning to all - syncing the Sansa takes a very long time, the first time out, so have patience and wait for MM to finish.

Good Luck
