VAIO Pocket Query: Can one make multiple playlists

[bongocanuck]

Please help since it's one of the things which make me frustrated with the Vaio. (I am also having a difficult time articulating my dilemma since english is not my first language).

I have over 6000 songs on my Vaio in the genre/artist/album/etc id3 categories. But sometimes I like to mix the songs up and make new playlists - combining mp3s from different areas to suit a new mood (like life - things change).

Now I with my old mp3 player you could just load songs from the player via winamp and save the playlists (under new names) and then have those multiple playlists accessed the mp3s in the player. Cool, eh.

BUT if I want to make new "playlists" in the Vaio it needs to copy the ENTIRE mp3 over in a new "group". This is bad since generally I am making a playlist of songs ALREADY in the vaio and it is taking up more hardrive space by multiple COPYING of the mp3s -rather then just creatign playlists.

Is there ANYWAY to do custom and multiple playlists in the VAIO?

thanks

ps..the playlist on the fly thing is way too time consuming to make playlists - it really needs to be done from the PC.

p2...still trying to wrap my head around SS 3.3 dynamic playlists but can't figure if it can make multiple use of existing mp3s on the vaio pocket

Hi!

Not quite sure about it but I think that if you don´t want to re-transfer the tracks of the playlists you have to create them via vaio pocket.

I now this is time consuming but I think it is the only way to avoid the re-transfer of tracks.

Hope this answer helps you,

Ameli

sorry for being stupid; but how do I create a playlist from the vaio pocket? do i delete my library in SS full of music from my hard drive?

If I "drag" the files from the vaoi to the library it deletes them from the vaio...AND i do no't think i know how to use the dynamic playlist feature...it does not seem to want to be able to create a simple playlist of songs...grrr

On the pocket, its on the right side with a heart on it - select that to add to playlist...something like that.

download this pdf manual for the pocket. the flimsy manual in the box was crap but this european one is far better.
