Syncing & co.

Okay, I got some questions for you guys... they've been bothering me for a while.

1. After surfing through many threads, I heard it is possible to sync things on your Zune, then to delete them from your computer without having them deleted from your Zune. To do so, you just have to drag the files from an unmonitored folder to the Zune icon to the bottom left corner, right ? But then... if you finally want to delete them from your Zune, what do you have to do ?

2. Is it possible to create playlists other than the original quick list ? If so, how should I do it ?

3. I installed some games on my Zune30, but if one day I want to delete them, how should I do it ?

This is it for now.
I'm sorry if those are noobish questions, I guess we all have to start somewhere...

Thanks in advance !

Yes, put your files into an unmonitored folder, add them to the zune software, sync them, and delete the files in the unmonitored folder and they will remain in your software(unplayable) and won't be removed from your zune.
2. Is it possible to create playlists other than the original quick list ? If so, how should I do it ?

On the device? Only the quicklist. Though, you could use the software to create your playlists.
3. I installed some games on my Zune30, but if one day I want to delete them, how should I do it ?

When you choose the game, there is two options, play and delete, choose delete and it will delete the game. If you want to completely get rid of the games and Games menu, you must do a hard reset. Back button + Up on the zune pad, then while the zune is booting up, press Back + Left + Center.

Thanks a lot ! <3 You answered all of my questions.
Except one; what if I want to delete the songs that I synced from the unmonitored folders on my Zune ?

You need to connect your Zune and go into Device>Music. When you have found the song that you want to delete, right click it and select "Delete from Zune".

Hi, I have a strange syncing problem. I have a playlist on my Zune that somehow appears to have been deleted from my collection. I could just ignore this, but if I want to add extra tracks to my playlist I would be stuck. What I want to do is reverse sync the playlist from the Zune to my collection. then I could add or delete tracts to the playlist in my collection and sync it as normal. Can I reverse sync a playlist?? The alternative is to create the playlist again from scratch (its a big playlist...)

Thanks
