Creating a playlist on the nw a45 without a pc

[johnconstable]

I've just started using my new nw a45. I'm trying to create a playlist o  the device but I ca t find out how. Do I really need to be plugged in to a pc to create a playlist? 

If I'm out and about and I want to make up a playlist surely it defeats the object of a portable device if you need to plug it into a pc?

I can't alway anticipating the need to create a new playlist in advance to pre preprepare it before I go out!

Hello @johnconstable,

the URL was missing a "l" at the end - I fixed it - click it again.

Thanks guys. No it doen't really help.

I want to create a playlist on the device when i'm out and can't plug it into a pc with the software loaded.

It seems you can't do this on the euopean version but can on the japanese one.

Hello @johnconstable,

I have the NW-A45 right in front of me and I have said option, yet you are right, that you first need to create a Playlist on a computer - you then though can add tracks to it.

In the meantime you can use the "bookmark" function as workaround.

it's very poor that it's available on the japanese version and not european. Why treat us differently?

Hello @johnconstable,

I am quite vertain I have a European version of the player - as I said - you need to create the playlist on the computer first, yet after that you can add as many songs as you like on the go while you are out with your player.

In the meantime you can use the "bookmark" function to create "playlists" of sort.
