Sansa e200 playlist sync problem

I have been searching for three days to solve a problem with my SanDisc Sansa e270 MP3. When I first got it I loaded it up with all my music, videos and playlists with no problems whatsoever. After having installed some updates to my system and such I find I'm suddenly unable to use Windows Media Player 11 to synchronize playlists. It will copy all of the music to the player but not the playlist. This was quite frustrating as I use my player almost exclusively to listen to audio books.

Well, three days later (which is almost unheard of for me as I am a VERY good internet researcher) I finally found a solution. It seems that this problem is common to ALL e200 series players that Sansa has created. NONE of them are working anymore (way to go Microsoft.) Turns out there is someone out there looking out for all of us Sansa users though. A company called "Hot Coffee Software has created a FREE Sansa Playlist creator and editor. It lets you use the player in MSC mode so you can drag and drop just like you would in Explorer. It lets you create, edit and merge playlists. You can make playlists from files on your computer or files that are already on your Sansa player. It is THE solution to the Sansa playlist problem.

You can find the file here http://hcware.110mb.com/sansa/ and I must give linkage to the place that led me to this find which is a forum at a place called "anything but ipod" (which, despite my love for Apple, is something dear to my heart as I hate ipods) You can find the link to the forum post here http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3827&highlight=playlists and I would imagine that a few other non ipod issues might be solved at this forum as well.
