For some reason, Microsoft removed this feature from the Zune 2.0 software.  Here is how I still create auto playlists using Windows Media Player 11 and import them into the Zune software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Open Windows Media Player 11.&lt;br /&gt;2.  Left click on Library Tab and select Create Auto Playlist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8oRzZIt2-C_4XhRaekXkmtxCWdCuvRKUdUJaCBi3e6dA38k-Bfvtp5FsIk2i9y2fD_fU6dMNLmCLj1oyMITXzSM06ipvPlsekerdejuSga-YNH9IHZw8Gpm2zbUy6V8lsucNmpM3q9E/s1600-h/Step2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8oRzZIt2-C_4XhRaekXkmtxCWdCuvRKUdUJaCBi3e6dA38k-Bfvtp5FsIk2i9y2fD_fU6dMNLmCLj1oyMITXzSM06ipvPlsekerdejuSga-YNH9IHZw8Gpm2zbUy6V8lsucNmpM3q9E/s400/Step2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155735042345763042&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.
