When Windows Media Player is active in the background and i put my wizard in standby (press power) and turn it on again. WMplayer pops up with "you placed a memory card, do you want to search for music and video files, YES or NO)
How do i disable this with out killing the WMplayer app everytime.
Thanx a bunch
Indeed. It's kind of disturbing everytime it pops up.
Anyone?

Hello :
In my Kjam a Dialog saying "A storage card was inserted was inserted..........." and opens windows media player .
How can i disable this feature ?
What is the latest rom upgrade ??,
Thanks a Lot !!!
in reverse order, no upgrade that i have seen yet,
and the first question answered with a question, do you mean, that when you insert a card it opens media player? if so you may have an audio file on card in the root folder.
how about it ask to insert a card ???
my Wizard always cannot SEE my miniSD card after suspend and wake up, anyone meet this ?
My two K-Jams also come up with the same message every now and again. Can't figure it out.
This is a "feature" :? of Windows Media Player.
When WMP detects an Storage Card inserted it will prompt to search it for media files to add to the playlist. This would also apply to people that have disapearing storage card issues as soon as the storage card reappears. Also, some cards may be slightly loose which causes the card to momentarilly turn off and on again.
As Windows Mobile 5.0 only minimises programs instead of closing them, its likely WMP has played a file recently and as it is still open but minimised. This makes it seem as if WMP is actually being opened and the nessage pops up. If you close WMP properly after use each time with the inbuilt memeory / task manager or other task manager app you should find you never see the message again. I think (but not sure) that if you let WMP do the search once it may not come back again either. I don't use WMP very often so have never let it search though.
I have tested this by having WMP as the active application and eject and reinsert the MiniSD and the message pops up every time however once WMP is closed i can take the MiniSD card out and put it back with no message.
Cheers,
Chris
Hi,
Quick question which isn't the end of the world but I find confusing.
For the past 4 months (since getting my JAMin) whenever I started up WMP10 it went to the 'Library' screen, and I selected 'My Playlists' - it would then automatically list all the playlists I have on my SD card. (I only ever load music onto the SD card, not onto the device itself).
Somehow, just in the last few days, this has changed so it defaults to the 'My Device' lists - of which there are none (never have been).
I simply find this annoying as it now means I have to go through 2 more steps every time I open WMP10 to reset it to look at the SD card for the playlists instead. The device then doesn't remember this as the default the next time I open WMP10.
Does anyone know how I can get it back to functioning as it was previously? I checked the sync settings on the PC version of WMP10 that I use to load the music/playlists, and it's set up for the SD card.......
Wild guess.... Maybe your card is getting old and gets disconnected once in while? (If you extract the card WMP defaults to internal memory...)
Not sure if that would be the reason.
The minute I click 'playlists' and the nclick on 'Storage Card' instead of 'My Device' it picks up the card, so it's registering at the time. I'd have thought even if it had accidentally disconnected at some point, the fact that it is 'visible' when I want to select a playlist would have suggested that WMP10 should also be picking it up.
Unless I'm missing something......
(Also, the card isn't that old, and isn't removed and reinserted very often - actually it's hardly touched - so it shouldn't be wearing out the contacts or anything).
Did you install any task manager program recently? Like SPB Pocket Plus Close Button or anyting like that?
By default WMP10's library points to My Device and not the Storage Card. When you tap the X button in standard WM5 you're only minimising WMP10 so when you open it up again it remembers your setting.
On the other hand, if you close WMP10 competely (by one of these task managers or the standard End Program), on loading it, it will point back to My Device as it is programmed to do by default.
1. Delete all media files you can find in the 'my device' library from the library and from the device. You can do this from within WMP.
2. Go to /Application Data/Microsoft/ and delete the Media Player directory.
3. Update the library
4. Never sync while Windows Media Player is open (on your desktop). If you do, repeat step 2-3.

Dirty fix This would not apply for everyone since some people (includign myself) transfer music to the Prophet through WMP desktop so I can get all the album art automatically.

Nope, I've been running SPB Pocket Plus since I got the device, and it's always opened WMP10 pointing at the storage card (despite the device being the default as you say).
Basically, the only things I've loaded on the JAMin are SPB Pocket Plus, Superdoku, TomTom 6 and OziExplorer CE.

Umm.. you sync to the storage card through the device? Get an SD card reader and sync your music through that - it's much, much faster.
Way2Go - I have SPB pocket plus too - and it's never done that for me.
So i synced up my hd2 to windows media player and as i scroll through my music through the sense music player it shows a whole bunch of what im guessing ringtone or alert noises with the letters HTC under them, do any of you know how to remove those? thanks
Very easy I just did this a minute ago. Plug in your HD2 to your computer through disk drive connect. Check your SD card and look for the folder labeled "media" It should contain all of the notification sounds and alarms. Back it up on your computer just in case and then delete it. Restart your phone and their gone!
I have about 6 gigs of music on the Micro SD card that came with the phone. It will randomly just stop playing. It will also stop when I get a text, email, unplug the phone, etc. Sometimes it'll stop when I turn the screen on by hitting the power button.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Which Player?
Which player are you using? I use Player Pro and I have that issue when I open music manually using Astro file manager. The best way to open music is to do it from within the player.

How did 6gb of music come preloaded on your phone?
I think they meant the SD card that came with the phone. do you have any task killers running?

It stops playing for a second with you get a text, email, and unplug the phone because the other ringtone thats set for that function is trying to play and it mutes your music. Disable SD Card notifications in Settings -> Sound and that'll stop it for unplugging of the phone, as for the text and email the only way to stop it from doing that is to set a silent ringtone or lower your volume to silent.

Wildwill is correct. I mean the 16gb card that came with the phone. I added the music myself.

It doesn't stop for a second, it stop completely. IT not only stops whenever I get text/email, if I open up the browser or open up an app, the music stops playing as well. It's not just when I receive notifications.
If you have the drm or download manager set to always kill it will stop music from playing anytime you wake up your phone. I had this problem too and although I have the drm and download manager set to kill when the phone starts I had to turn it off the option to keep them always killed. Doesn't seem to affect tye battery to turn off that option and although the download manager seems to keep running the drm, which is the real battery drain, appears to stay killed. But this only applies if you have a task killer running.
Jutlst know also that the music apps all need data access so anything that changes the state of your data connection may affect your music stream even from the sd card.
