I just picked up an Epic a few days ago and have been scouring the internet to no avail. In any event, this is my situation.

I have a bunch of playlists (.m3u) that contains about 1200 songs. The songs are scattered across all my drives (out of 45 gigs of mp3s and dozens of folders). In both Windows Mobile and Blackberry that I've owned, it was a simple process to get them on the phone. Their respective desktop managers allowed me to simply drag the playlist into the phone (via BB Desktop manager and Windows Media player Sync) and the corresponding mp3's would copy over. Don't know what they did, but I know that I had my playlists fully functional on the phone.

Is this even possible to do in Android or am I stuck manually adding songs...I'm hoping I'm missing something because I find it utterly preposterous that Android can't accomplish the EXACT same thing with but a thought. If my ass backwards BB can do it...it's quite pathetic.

No prob.

One hint about Android: Don't be afraid to explore new apps. You can always uninstall and most have free "lite" versions. I gave up on my app thread since it was beginning to look like an app website.

Besides the market, check out androlib, appbrain and getjar. XDA has a great Android app section where you can get betas and useful reviews.

One of the biggest advantages of the Android market is the 24hrs you have to try out an app and if you don't like it, uninstall it and you get your money back.

Wow, I didn't know that. Great feature and I would think really comes in useful for the bad apps (along with good ones that might not work with all the different versions of phones).

I always forget about that!

Thanks for picking up my slack
