You got to create the playlist on your computer then put it onto your device.

I'm very shocked that MS still haven't fix it in GDR3.

Have you tried itunes? I know, it is sacrilege, but it works great.

Itunes works also, i use it and it works for me. I load playlist to my 1020 with no problems.

It's easy. Go to Xbox music. Long press on a song or genre or whatever. "ad to actual play list" (or something like this, I don't use the English version). Then go to the player, push the three dots and "save it as playlist". I don't understand why people say you can not make playlists,you can!!

use add to "now playing" and then click on the save button below......... stop complaining...... nokia is best:wink:

Yeah sure you can 'add to now playing' and then save it, but that is far from an ideal way to create a playlist. When you are browsing through your music (on phone) there should be a simple 'add to playlist' or 'create playlist' option which then prompts you to name and create a playlist and from there you would be able to add or remove any songs you want that are in your library.
Then when you go to playlists you would be able to easily edit them by adding or removing tracks from any playlist you have saved on the phone.
None of this 'advanced' playlist stuff is on WP's Xbox music; and the save now playing is a poor excuse for a playlist creation tool.

I tried but it doesn't create the playlist, it tells me to create the playlist on Xbox music on the pc and then to pass it on the phone but it doesn't work... I also tried through iTunes with the same result, nothing.... I totally give up, I'm enjoying Nokia mixradio now and I really like it.... Anyway, thanks everybody...

I feel you! I am saying the same thing! I love my 1020 but, that only goes so far! Thinking of selling it a buying an IPhone 5 s

meh. Nokia MixRadio is the music god for WP anyway. Can't believe how good it is.

On the other hand, if you require your own music collection, the add to now playing is fine. I don't know about you, but I get sick of playlists pretty quickly, so I think it's actually better to have a "dynamic" playlist or just a shorthand one like "now playing".

Regardless, check out MixRadio if you don't like the default app. There's offline playback, if that's what worries you most

The issue is that its extremely convoluted. Almost like the idea that someone would want to create a playlist on the fly was an afterthought or some foreign concept from another planet. On my iPod touch, I can do exactly as one poster mentioned: create a playlist, name it, add and remove songs when I want, all right there on the device.

I would much rather have a method that doesn't involve making a playlist in one shot and not having the ability to add and drop music to that playlist after its made. I would also rather add songs to a dedicated playlist, rather than the extra step of adding to now playing and then saving the playlist. Its truly an unnecessary step and just *** backwards when you can accomplish these easily on other platforms.

This is one of important abilities missing on windows phone .
