1. Connect the portable media device to your computer.
2. Windows Media Player switches to the Sync tab.
3. Click Playlists in the right pane.
4. Drag a playlist to the Sync pane.
5. Repeat Step 4 until you have added all the playlists you want to the sync list.
6. Click Start Sync.
7. Disconnect the device when you see the Sync Completed message.
8. Click the Click Here link to display the results of the file synchronization.

NOTE: To sync individual media files instead of a playlist, select individual media files and drag them to the sync list in Steps 3-5.
