MP3 player won't save playlists!

So, as a little Christmas/birthday present to myself, I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Sansa Clip during amazon.com's black friday deal ($25!). Today, I finally finished complying a hour-long "jogging" playlist in iTunes, found out the the little sucker would only work with Windows Media Player, recompiled the list in WMP, then proceeded to sync them up following a google doc user manual.

All the songs end up in the "music" folder rather than a separate playlist in the "playlist" folder. I tried creating a new folder to drag and drop the songs myself, but I apparently don't have permission!

What? Why? This thing has soooo many positive reviews (cnet, private blogs). Is it just me? This is my very first mp3 player EVER and I have no clue how it works, simple as it may appear. T_T

ARGH!

It might not work the same way with your gadget, but I know with my iPod, all the music syncs to the main music folder, even if I select to sync different playlists. I can either just shuffle-play all of it, or I can go into the "music" menu and select the particular playlist that I want.

...*pats* I'm sorry. Read the manual?

Haha--No! It turns out the playlists are filed under "top rated" for some odd reason. XDDD

It works fine, but when I walk, I can hear my footsteps uncomfortably loud. Y'know, like when you're underwater and something vibrates, you can hear it loud and clear? I'm not sure how useful this will be in jogging unless I turn up the volume A LOT. ^^;;

...You just figured that out? Hope you don't get deaf! ;P
