Has anyone tried to sync there device with pc version of WMP10?? Mine works fine unless you tell it to convert the files to say 64kb/s before transfering to device? Does anyone use this feature? I would like to sync some of my 192 albums to the device but reduce them to 64k before transfering to save space....Any help appreciated, it starts the convert process, and the i get a server threw an exception error....

I have a problem with getting music that I have synchronised from Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) to play on my TD2. I have the 6.5 Rom but the same problem existed with 6.1. I have tried this on two Windows 7 PCs with the same results.
I connect using Windows Mobile Device Centre and then select tracks in WMP to synchronise. They are converted and then sync fine and appear on my TD2 (internal memory or storage card) in what looks like the correct format, but although the Artist, Album Name and Track Name are recognised by Windows Explorer, the tracks appear in the various Media Player sort-by views (Album, Artist etc) as ‘Unknown Album’ and ‘Unknown Track’. When I try to play the tracks it comes up in either the basic Media Player or the HTC version but will not play and just says ‘Error’.
Oddly, if I just copy the track files from my Server directly to the TD2 Storage Card without converting them they play fine. However, as all of my music is stored on my Server as Lossless this direct transfer option is not practical because of the very large file sizes involved.
Also odd is that if I use an old Windows XP PC with Windows Media Player 11, everything syncs and plays as it should.
A Forum and Google search on this has not turned up anything, but I am hoping that one of you will have an idea as to what the problem and solution is.
Solved this for myself, but others might find the solution helpful.
If I use ActiveSync to connect to my PC the files sync but will not play. If I select the Disk Drive connection option they sync AND play fine. Presumably a problem/bug in Windows 7 ActiveSync (Mobile Device Center).
I have a big problem with my Trinity...
I've flashed it with a WM6.5 ROM (dont remember which, just that the rar is named WM_06.5.21857.rar) and I'm an active user of the sync features, both ActiveSync and the sync in Windows Media Player.
The problem is when I try to sync music to it through WMP12 (I've got Windows Se7en) it transfers a couple of the songs and then stops. No error message or anything... And there is plenty of space left for the music on the miniSD...
And I cant transfer the files manually as I've made an automatic playlist with a couple of rules and a 200mb limit, so I never have the same music on the phone...
Has anyone of you had this problem before and how did you solve it?
Cant find any information about it anywhere on the net (spent the last 3 hours googleing for a solution)...
All help is appreciated!

same problem here - use WM5Storage as workaround
I experienced the same problem.
Now I use WM5 Storage on my phone to map the microSD card directly to my PC (as if it was in a card reader), instead of via Windows Mobile Device Centre.
With this set-up the sync is much faster and does not stop after a couple of songs.
Thanks! Never thought of that :O
Will try that to se if it works smoother
EDIT! Just noticed that WM5 Storage wasn't in this ROM, but will try Card Export
EDITEDIT! It worked VERY well using Card Export
Music folder structure on SD card
Do you also have your music synced into the microSD/Music folder?
In my case I can either tell WMP12 to not set up any folder structure, I which case all my mp3s get simply dumped in the microSD root.
Alternatively, I can have WMP to create a folder structure, in which case I end up with getting Music/Artist name/Album name, which is more than useless.
I'd prefer Music/Album name.
ANybody knows how to get this?
I've tried two ROMs and both took at least three minutes to load the music tab.I have filed about half of my 16gb memory card with music and when i click the music tab the screen becomes unresponsivefor a few minutes and then any screen presses are carried out after the album artwork has loaded. does anyone else face this lag with the music tab? and how can I fix it? this is extremely annoying as it freezes the phone!
have u used the sync or disc mode to load the music?
I used the disk mode. is this the problem? I have been unable to sync my device using active sync because when I connect it,I get a message saying that outlook isn't the default email client or something and then the device charges but is nowhere to be seen on my computer.thanks for the quick reply btw

yep ! Same here ... a real pain. But I've found no solution yet ...
I've ca. 4GB music on my card and all is fast and responsive. Stock 1.48 GER.
It could have several reasons be that you have faulty mp3 or and faulty card.
On the other side its always better to sync music via Windows Media Player rather than doing it via copy/paste.
I would go for a format. and then try to make active sync working because sooner or later you will need it. If you can't do it right now I would try to copy the stuff folder by folder by folder. Before doing this i would check wheter all the files are valid. There are several threads here describing how to check this. Mp3Val is a good adress to begin with. Just download and run it over all mp3 files: http://mp3val.sourceforge.net/
In addition I would also have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5220474#post5220474 and check for those hints...

Do I have to sync everything or is there a way to sync only certain items?
I'm using Multimedia Synch by doubleTwist which came with the phone.
I want to be able to sync 1 movie on my phone without having to sync all my other songs because everytime I sync just the movie section it deletes my music off the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
You could connect in disk drive mode and drag and drop the movie in the folder of your choice.
Also can try to use Card with jacket
& insert in PC
with the phone

It is not a perfect solution, and not just for media, but what I do , is connect in disk mode and use a program called Super Flexible File Synchronizer, it will actually Synchronize the directories, making sure they are exact ...
does no conversion or anything, just syncs, also works for keeping a good backup of my whole SD card once a week or so ...
I converted some TV's shows (Deep Space 9). Yes I am a geek. And now every time I sync to my computer it wants to save all those videos to my computer. I also copied some other files over that I don't want to be synced every time. Is there a way to control what is synced and what is not?
What are you using to sync to your PC with?
The built in Windows Vista sync for photos and videos.
Or is there a directory where you can hide the files so windows won't see it? Somehow it finds every picture and video.
