When in folder view you will see an arrow on the far right of all your songs or albums. Click that arrow to bring up a list of options. Check "Add To Pl" to add that song or album to a playlist. Once you press "Add To Pl" it will bring up a menu box displaying all your playlists. If you do not have one yet just click on the "Add New Playlist". Once your playlist is created you just follow the above steps for each song you wish to have in that playlist. If you want to add a song from the main "now playing" screen just click on your devices menu button and then select "Add To Pl". Hope that helps.
