Saving playlists in windows media player

I am trying to add a playlist in windows media player. I have several from my time with windows 7. I add the songs to the playlist and try to save the new list. I would type in the name and I would get "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while creating
or saving the playlist." I have tried many things and I have looked at the suggested fixes but I have no idea what to do.

Any suggestions that can help?

I know I ask a lot but I try to help.

 

Windows Media Player in WM6.1 saves playlists incorrectly

Sorry for lack of update.

Simple, just open Windows Media Player, update library, and add files by queuing up tracks from the library to the Now Playing list

After that, within the Now Playing list, save the playlist and give it a name. Step by step orders:

1. Open WMP

2. Open [Menu] -> [Library] -> [My Musics]

3. Add files by clicking on [Menu] -> [Queue Up] on each files in order.

4. Click [(<-) Back] until the main player screen

5. Click [Now Playing]

6. Click [Menu] -> [Save Playlist]

7. Type the desired playlist Name and confirm overwriting of existing playlist (after modifying playlist)

8. Save the playlist

9. Reload the playlist within active WMP or after restarting WMP.

Then the problem just occurs everytime I do these steps (I think It's normal, right?)

At that time, I've confirmed that the error comes from the WMP.

After saving the playlist (Step 8), before closing WMP or even after closing WMP from Task Manager, I open the playlist File using Word Mobile and there it is, the path names are written partially in the correct location and partially in the wrong location
(based on the Playlist folder)

So, each time I unload the playlist by exiting WMP or loading other playlist, then reload the just-saved playlist, a lot of files could not be played.

That's how it is. I hope that this information will be helpful. Thanks

 

WMP Will Not Save Playlist

I have a new computer with Win 10 Home installed. I am trying to use WMP and create some music playlists. When I create a list of songs and try to save them as a playlist I get a pop-up that says: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while creating or saving the playlist". I have clicked on "Web Help" in the pop-up box and tried all the suggested solutions, but none of them have solved the problem. Can you please help.
