Making playlists for my MP3

[Mangosteen]

I have downloaded about 250 songs into my 40 GB Nomad jukebox Zen Extra. I listen about 4 hours a day. The same songs play over and over again everyday even when I shuffle. Many of the 250 songs have NEVER been played in the 8 months I’ve had the unit.

I’ve been told that if I create five Playlists of about 50 songs each, I would be able to hear all 250 the songs eventually. On Monday, for example, I could select Playlist one, Tuesday, Playlist two, etc.

Is this correct? How do I create this playlists? I can’t find any information on this on their website.

Your reply will be greatly appreciated!

Thank

Have you tried the Product Manual? Amazon’s PDF version is available if you can’t find yours.

Section 3-23 outlines how to create a playlist on the player:

If you like the contents and arrangement of your current Selected Music List,
you can choose to save it as a playlist for retrieval and playback later.

1. Press the Menu button .
2. Scroll Select Selected Music.
   The Selected Music List screen appears.
3. Press the Scroller. A list appears.
4. Scroll Select Save as Playlist. A list appears.
   When you remove
   audio tracks from the
   Selected Music List,
   you are not
   permanently deleting
   the selections from
   your player.

5. Scroll Select the letters on the list to form a name for your playlist. This
   name appears in the box at the bottom of the screen.
   Note: When entering letters into the box, you can switch from upper to
   lower case (or vice-versa) by simply Scroll Selecting the letter and holding
   the Scroller until the letter changes to the case you want. You can also use
   different character sets, such as accented characters or numerals, by Scroll
   Selecting the Charset option on the list.
6. Scroll Select the OK option to save the playlist with the name you have
   entered.

Posted too soon. Section 4-5 explains how to create a playlist using the (presumaby included) Media Sniffer software on your computer.
