Playlists? Confused

[nuld]

Hi, i just bought an 818 Walkman for my wife, but i cannot find a way to make "on the fly playlists", or an option of "add to Selected". My Creative Zen has this option and i'm sure Sony wouldn't have left out such an important feature. She likes to create a playlist before she drives, but i have told her i think she will have to just do them via the computer, is this correct?

Cheers in advance

Nuld

Hello Nuld - no, you can't make on-the-fly playlists with the 818. This feature (among others), was left off the 81x series. The 'older' models, the 800 series (which use Sonicstage/Atrac) - support on-the-fly and ratings etc, but not the 818.

There were some reviews on the 818 which stated it didn't support these features. I guess you didn't see them before you bought it

Oh well, her lose. I'll just stick to my 'brick like Zen, then.
