Syncing yoru device to Windows Media Player

[heydjbobby74]

Ok I am posting this because some people are having difficulty doing this, and I had to learn it all the hard way. I could not find a good You Tube video on this though. So here is the way I do it, if anyone knows of a better way, please advise! peace-

Windows media works great! I love it and use it all the time, however, I am interested in finding out it iTunes is available for the TP. I couldn't find a good video in you tube on this, so here goes!

To use WMP (Windows Media Player) to sync your TP is not that hard.
1. Set-Up partnership with your WMP. Plug your TP into your computer on 'Active Sync' mode, (make sure you have 'active sync installed or it will not work) but do not go into your active sync and select it to sync music. you want to do this from your WMP.

2. In your WMP, go to files and add the music you want in your WMP.

3. On the left hand side of your WMP, you should see where you can create a play list, go there and create a play list. For example you probably love Britany Spears, so make a Britany Spears play list in your WMP.

4. Once you 'Create a Play List' you can add all your favorite Spears songs to it.

5. Now that you have a play list created and songs added to it, make sure your PDA is plugged in and your WMP is recognizing it. Note- if your WMP is recognizing it, you should see your device on the RIGHT HAND SIDE OF YOUR WMP!!!! Another note- make sure WMP is recognizing your EXTERNAL MEMORY on your device, and not actually the device itself! If you load all the music to your device and not the external memory card, then your phone will SUCK, and go very slow, probably causing you to resort to a HARD RESET!!! I know all this because I suck, and had to learn the hard way when I loaded my entire Britany Spears collection to the phone instead of the ex mem. One more note- you will be able to tell if WMP is recognizing your device mem or your device external mem, by the size it shows available. If it shows only say 3gb total when you know you have an 8gb external mem card, then it probably recognized your device rather than the ex mem. Do you see what I'm saying!

6. Once you have all that figured out and your device plugged in and recognized by your WMP, then drag the specific play list you would like to sync over to the right hand side where it shows your device's external mem available. Note-this is PRETTY OBVIOUS WHERE TO DROP IT!!! So pay attention!

7. Hit the sync button and enjoy.

I know not many people use WMP or laugh at it, but in my opinion, wav and wma files sound better than mp3 or mp4 formats, again 'My Opinion'. Not here to argue, so don't waste your time trying! In this day and age of mass storage, who cares what size the file is anyways? Didn't you hear? It is not the size that matters anymore, it is what you do with the size you have! lol... I will re-post this as a new topic as well! Peace-b
