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.

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.

Hey Guys,
I have a Windows Server Box, and setup the Windows Media Services.
To my laptops the Streaming Server is very cool.
However, to my WM6 Hermes phone, while I can get the stream to play, I cannot Fast Forward, or even skip to the next track? Plus, while the Windows Mobile Media Player plays WMA files (at High Quality) without a problem, it locks up when a MP3 file is streamed. And yet the phone has MP3 ringtones.
Also there doesn't seem to be a means of getting a playlist, to choose what I want to listen to from the server.
Does anyone have any experience with this, or can point me in the correct direction ?
Thank You,
Dave
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.
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!
I want to buy an album from iTunes and use it on both my iPod and my Windows Phone 7. I want to know whether I would be able to put the music from iTunes onto my Windows Phone
You didn't write which iTunes: Windows or Mac. For the Mac, yes you can download music from your iTunes library to your Windows Phone if you use the Microsoft Windows Phone Connector.
For Windows, then I am sure you will need to bring your iTunes library (in this case just he album) over to Zune to get it into the Windows Phone.
I imported my whole iTunes library over to Zune, I think for the most part everything came over and I'm able to sync just fine what I want.
Although, now I have a Zune pass, so I don't even use iTunes anymore
I have question why not use amazon? Cheaper and song quality is great as well. I have some albums from itunes and haven't any problem to play it. You forget are these songs DRM free? There is no sense witch itunes do you use, Mac or Win. For Mac to sync media with WP7 - Windows Phone Connector. For Windows as you know Zune. Song must be DRM Free.
Hey guys. Im gonna buy a vzw gnex tomorrow and will be putting my music on it. Problem is, I don't want to have to manually transfer the song files back and forth from computer to phone (or vice-versa) every time I buy a new song. Is there a way that process can be automated, like syncing?
Thanks
google music?
you can sync specific folders on your computer to the cloud storage
you can access it via stream or have the option to download it to your phone

Yeah I was going to use the stock music app. So I can set up the "folder" as the itunes music folder on my mac and whenever a new song is added my phone will download it? And the option to download, where can I find that?
idk how it works with mac
i created a folder named "music" on my laptop and chose it to sync to my google music account
when you open the google music app it displays all the songs in that folder...you can stream it via wifi or data
as far as i know, you have to download the each song manually..i dont believe there is a way to sync them all directly to your phone storage
edit: you can add them all to a playlist then select "keep on device"
a less confusing way may be to set up a dropbox folder (and name it "music) on your computer and then download the dropbox app on your phone
then you can access the songs through the app and download them that way..its less confusing then google music
the benefit of google music is that its stored in the cloud and can be streamed (so you can listen to them whenever you want and yet you save space)

Yes you can tell it to sync your iTunes folder. That's actually the default option when you install the Google Music uploader on OSX.
