Jim that is the same program I use to create playlists. Works great for me.
Go to "Settings" and check your "Playlist Details" and make sure you have them set like this:

 

You can move songs up and down to put them in the order you want them to play (in Playlist Creator 3.6.2) once you have them on your flash drive.
But once you hit "Create Playlist" you cannot alter the playlist or flash drive in any way.
If you do make any changes (Like add songs or change order), you have to recreate the playlist.
I hope this helps.

 

Timbo, I have those settings,, how about a play by play on how you upload everything, I'd like to have say, "Country" play list, with albums under that,,,, if that's possible.

I didn't forget you on the Arcs,, stereo actually sounds worse with line levelers in AND MY OLD Flash,, getting it done tomorrow. Then I'll see if the Arcs sound fine by themselves. I have less volume now, and it sounds flatter with old flash,, (makes sense,, the filters are different),,,, we'll see what the morning brings and the new flash.

 

Jim, this is a great thread on how to:

(Post 15 is where it starts to get helpful)

It's how I learned.
Most important thing is make sure you have your music already on your flash drive, and use PLC 3.6.2 selecting your songs off your flash drive, and saving your playlists on your flash drive.
Do everything (selecting songs, saving playlist) working with the flash drive.
Hope this helps

To choose between playlists on the bike:
Use right hand control and navigate up then left to select "Find"
Then scroll down to playlists

 

I use the hand controls, I have an "!" next to my playlists, guessing something is not working out... I'll keep messing with it.

 

Jim, did you get it to work?

From rsp8575:
The important things for success are:
1. Save the playlists in .m3u format
2. Put all the music on the USB stick
3. Work completely off of the USB stick for all music and playlists.
4. Makes sure the program can save playlists in the absolute format not relative.
5. Don't move the music and folders around once you start making playlists or you will have to re-do the playlists to make them work.

If you take a minute and think about what you are trying to do it might make more sense.

You are putting music on a USB and trying to make a list of songs to play. They have names and folder locations that are needed to find them. All that info and data needs to be on the USB drive.

When you take the USB drive to your bike for a ride, your sweet ride has no idea where your hard drive is or the Internet . It needs everything on the only piece of hardware it has . The USB drive.

If your list references any music that it can't find on the stick your playlist will barf. Also if you move stuff around in folders or whatever the playlist won't find it anymore.

Get a big stick like 16GB or more and put all the music you have on there. Don't move it around after you start making your playlists.

From then on work solely on the USB stick for creating and saving playlists.

Stuff it in the bike and go ride!
