Playlist folders are supported on the new Nano! (and Classic)

Hi folks,
You may have noticed that in iTunes 7.4, playlist folders now show up when selecting which playlists to sync to your iPod. Originally, people thought this was just cosmetic on the iTunes side.

I am here to tell you now that it is not just cosmetic. The same folders that you create on iTunes will be ALSO shown on your new Nano (and Classic I assume). Previously, the navigation was:

Playlists->Playlist

Now it is:

Playlists->Folder->Playlist

Which also means you can hit Play on the Folder and it will play every playlist within that folder!

Hopefully smart playlists on the device will also see them.

This rocks. Does anyone have screenshots of this feature on the new pods? If anyone does, please post, pretty please.

Just read about it in the new ask iLounge edition

I'm going to assume the same is true for the Nano, even nested folders work on the Classic. Woohoo, finally! Cancelling the request for screenshots.

ah! help! I can't get it work at all. I wasn't even aware this was possible until today and am quite annoyed that it won't work. I have the latest versions of iTunes and iPod software so I feel like there shouldn't be a problem...

I believe you have to use autosync to get the folders to appear. They won't show up with manual management.
