I had a problem a while back where all of a sudden (after a computer upgrade) my e250v2 would not be recognized by wmp or my pc...long story short ..updated firm ware,formatted player,& have to use in MSC mode because its still not recognized in the other mode..ok fine i have tunes on it now...but it will not recognize a playlist...I tried 2 solutions on here..1-recreate playlist as a M3u in WMP and sync to device..doesnt work...2-download and install Sanse Playlister,which shows the playlist name in playlists but when you open it there are no songs in there...every thing worked fine when i first got the player then after a severe crash on my pc where i had to format the drive and reinstall Windows XP i also upgraded to service pack 3 and since then is when ive had all these problems with this player.
But that being said my daughters samsung and my sons Sansa still work fine on this computer so its not a pc issue...please help if possible
