Sync Media Player with WMP11 - Desire General

I'm getting quite frustrated at the process for syncing the HTC Desire with my Windows Media Player library
I can set it up first time, to sync some of my WMP playlists automatically, and it will copy all the music to the phone just fine.
However, on the phone, the playlists I chose to sync don't appear in the playlists tab on the music player.
I have to copy the playlist files to the SD card
This would be OK if its only the once. However, whenever I update the playlists on my computer (quite often), I have to delete the playlists from the phone, unplug for it to recognise, replug and reput the updated playlists on! It's driving me mad...
Is there anything I should be doing instead? eg my old Blackberry had 'Blackberry Music Sync' which did all this automatically for me. Any decent alternatives out there?

I'm guessing the problem is that the playlists from WMP will be in its own playlist format. I think the music player only supports .m3u . Maybe try using another application, songbird with the folder sync addon works quite well!

Are playlists cached anywhere?

Can't work this one out and i've searched through every folder I can find on the phone.
I noticed some old playlists were still showing in the audio manager so as I keep all music on storage card i just deleted the playlists out of playlist folder and deleted all the music so I could resync from WMP 11
Although all the music is now not shown in the audio manager all tracks in now playing and all the playlists are still listed (although not clickable and playable as they aren't on the storage card). Are the now playing and playlists cached anywhere in a temp folder which i've missed?

Sync with Windows Media player.. change music folder

Hi,
When i setup Windows Media player to sync with my SDcard it always sync with the folder \music
I can't find a way to change to the music folder below where all mp3 files should be for the player in the phone to find them..
Its not so fun to manualy copy everytime you have synced.
Anyone that have idea how to change what folder you sync too?
Are you saying that it copies to the music in
My Device/music
or
My Device/storage card/music
Where exactly do you want your songs placed?
It copies all files to My Device/storage card/music
I want it in My Device/storage card/My documents/my music
then the phone could find them without having to copy manualy
When syncing with WMP, it's see's the phone as a media player and will always sync to the default music location
AKA, My Device/storage card/music
Every WinMo phone I have ever used never had a problem finding music when located in this location.
What media player are you using, the program may not be looking in the correct location for your songs.

Way to sync subscription music to device?

Is there a way to sync subscription music files to the Evo?
I have music I have purchased on my laptop with Zune. I use windows media player to sync the other songs that I have burned from a cd to my laptop but it will not allow me to sync Zune files.
It gives a message that says it is not possible to sync subscription files to device
I would like to know too.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Without breaking the DRM in the files. no.
there are ways to get around this but they break DRM and i am not sure i can really go into it much on this forum. i would try to Google protected music converter as a start.
alternatively you could move away from zune and use one of the subscription based models that has an android app (something like Rdio) -- that's the route I went and couldn't be happier.
I had to convert the wma file to an mp3 file.

[Q] Music playlists dissapear after reboot

Hi, I use Windows Media Player to sync music. After rebooting the phone, neither Walkman or PlayerPro list my playlists, I have to resync through WMP for the playlists to appear. Does anyone else have this problem? Or if you don't, what program do you use for syncing music from your computer (not from cloud services)?

Sync iTunes Playlist with Kies

Is there a way to sync my itunes playlist to where it will load up all my songs in my itunes playlist in the Kies media player, where I can then transfer or sync my music directly from keys instead of itunes, keeping all my phone media in one place.
