I found the following thread which is in the Bold forum, but it might help.
Good Luck!!

However, if you are a windows media player fan, here is something i was just experimenting with. The link below is also in Jsanders signature.
Stinsonddog's Blackberry Tips and Tricks
Look for the 8300 curve tips. Its a PDF file and about 3/4 way thru it there is a section called "Playlists on 83XX from the Rim Knowledge base"
