hello all,

the documentation for creating playlists on the iriver x20, that is on the web, is disjoint and confusing to say the least. I have noticed that many people have problems creating playlists on the device (and I too had difficulty). I have, however, found a way to do it correctly. If this is simply a repeat of someone else’s well documented post, I apologise for not finding it and quoting: but what can you do -

howto create playlists in iriver x20 -

1. set the device to MTP (settings, advanced)
2. open windows explorer and browse to the iriver x20 device
3. expand its contents (i.e. go into "internal storage")
4. within the "internal storage" folder create a PLAYLISTS folder (caps may be necessary here as the device may be case sensitive - I haven’t tried it in lower case)
5. open WMP 11 and create a playlist under the Library section (not the sync section)
6. save the playlist
7. configure the sync partnership in WMP 11 to include the playlist and then sync the to the device. to do this, in the library section right click on the iriver x20 device and select "setup sync" then select your newly created playlist to add it to the playlists you wish to sync.
8. sync the device.
9. go into the sync tab in WMP 11 and check that the playlist is on the device.

this method does NOT create duplicate mp3 files on the device. it is a true playlist.

that all seems to have worked for me. Hope this helps anyone that didn’t get very far with the crappy documentation from iriver.
