I have MC installed on my desktop and laptop PCs. My music files reside on the desktop HD. I have several playlists set up in the desktop MC that I sync to the Zen.
I imported the desktop music into the laptop MC library, but don't really use the laptop to play music. What I use the laptop for is to rip, tag, audio analyze, etc. new stuff before copying it over to its final location on the desktop HD.
I don't import those new tracks into the laptop library, I just drag the files I want to work on into "playing now" and when I'm done, I delete them from playing now.
With that background, here's my question. Occasionally, I want to load some of the stuff I'm working on onto my Zen Xtra, so for that purpose I created a playlist on the laptop. I drag the files into the playlist, and synch the Zen. But when I do that (even though I'm not deleting from the Zen files not in the sync list) all the playlists created when I synch to the desktop disappear.
Is there a way around this? BTW, I'm using the playlist to synch because I want to have a playlist of those specific files on the zen, so merely dragging them over in windows explorer isn't enough.
Thanks
