LG VX-8500 Chocolate

My question is about playlists. When using Windows Media Player to sync songs to the phone, you select the playlists on your PC that you want transferred. But while it transfers the songs themselves to the phone, it doesn't transfer the playlists into the "playlists" menu on the phone. Am I doing something wrong? Or do you have to re-create the playlist once you've synced the songs? Because that's a major and seemingly unnecessary hassle, to have to replicate a playlist by scrolling through your entire library on the chocolate, when it could have just been transferred via the sync. Please tell me I'm just doing something wrong and there's a way to fix this.
