ipod nano not showing playlists in Music app

Hi,

I think the linked document only works if you had those playlists saved in the former iTunes. I had playlists on my iPod that weren't separate in iTunes, but only on my iPod and now I can only see them on my iPod. (I used to be able to see them in iTunes as a dropdown menu, once I clicked on the device.)

If I sync, as listed in the link, it erases all of the iPod playlists and would put the music- out of playlist order- onto the iPod. Any ideas for how to keep the playlists-- whose only current location is on the iPod, not on a computer or phone-- within Music now? Thanks for your time!
