I've read a lot of good stuff about synchronizing the Windows Media Player 10 with the HTC Tynt (WM6). However, I do not seem to be able to view the nice album covers which i can see on my desktop PC.
Do I need to download some special skins to do this for the mobile media player???
regards,
This works effortlessly and without any "special" steps for me. Although I am using windows media player 11 for the Desktop. What is your entire process for placing and playing files? Are you doing the following (which I do personally)
1) Sync music under windows media player itself, not copying files over through explorer.
2) On Pocket Windows Media Player, update your library via menu
3) Under pocket windows media player, play your music through the library itself, as opposed to individually through file explorer.
Yes, exactly how I do it. The music is synchronized and plays well but the main media player screen does not show anything except the usual stuff like title, rating (stars)...
I also use Windows Media Player 11 and on the PC, I can see the album cover without problems.
Just tried it again and once again it worked fine for me. What rom are you using?

Hi,
have a smal question ....
I have copied a CDDA into my Windows Media Libary on my Home PC. The CD is a Mix and there are no breaks between the tracks.
Once I play this Album on my PC, WMP plays the tracks without any brake. This is absolut ok.
But on WM5.0 Pocket Windows Media Player 10 it makes small brakes between this tracks. Can i disable this breaks?
Hi guys,
just noticed a problem when I use my desktop to sync windows media player playlists with my jam. When I sync 3 playlists across it copies all of the music files to the storage card, but not the actual lists themselves which means I have to reconstruct the playlists on my device or listen to all 3 sets of music together in a jumble.
Any idea where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Good question.
I can create playlists on my PDA but I can't save them. Once I close the program, they're gone.
Hi
I have all my songs on my storage card. I can play them fine directly from the storage card, going through the file explorer.
However they dont work when in windows media and using the playlists, even though I can see them all. I get the error message "Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
Any ideas??
Thanks

I've given up on Windows Media and now use TCPMP for playing my audio files. One of the main reasons I dislike Windows Media is because it's such a pain to create playlists. It seems like they went out of their way to make it difficult. TCPMP let's you create playlists on the device very easily. My audio files are a mix of mp3s and .wma files and it plays them all just fine.
TCPMP also plays lots of other media types, but that's all I'm using it for at this point.
And it's free! (Though you can give a donation if you find it useful )
You can also try WinamPAQ v1.0 Beta[/url]. Also free, if you used Winamp on the PC before, this is a fine copy. Works great also.

Hello All,
Ever since I got my MDA my old Toshiba e800 has been used less and less. However I do use it when traveling for media (bigger vga screen).
I like WMP 10. But it is not available as a standalone download from MS. And my Toshiba only has WMP 9. Is there a way to extract the installation file from the Wizard ROM so that I can install it on my Toshiba?
Thanks
PS...Or is there an alternate media player out there that has the 2 main features I want from WMP 10? I like the library (it is very similar to the one used in the desktop version of WMP 11). And showing album art for each song played.
Thanks
So basically I have been using Mortplayer with the Vista theme (looks like WMP11 desktop). But I really don't like the way mort player organizes, or rather allows access to, your music. It is very confusing. And I want my Girlfriend to be able to use it with little fuss (she is not very technically inclined, nor does she want to be)
WMP 10 has the same library structure as WMP Desktop 11. She is already comfortable with that "Type" of structure...i.e. Access by:
All music or
Album or
Artist or
Playlist or
Genre etc...
I assume that I what I asked above is either not possible, or is a big no-no (extracting WMP 10 from Wizard Rom).... So....
Any ideas what to do here?
Thanks
Ok, well never mind here....WMP Mobile 10 will not play nice with a networked folder..... iT works fine for traveling but as soon as we want to use it around the house browsing our large networked media drive it shows it's limitations.
Back to mort player...Thanks any way
Everytime I try to open up music through the windows media player I get a message- Windows Media
! an unexpected error occurred.
I reset Windows and that did not work then I upgraded to Mibil 6 and that did not work. The only way I can listen to music, I open Windows media then I have to go to the menu button and Open File... thenpick the folder then play. This allows me only to play one folder at a time I can not play random music.
I appreciate any help Bob K
media player is almost certainly the worst media player on ppc for music. use mortplayer or htc audio manger, there's many more but i think these 2 are by far the best. they have many, many more features, especially mortplayer, and use less RAM usually.
thy're both easily available and free, and mortpayer is skinnable (do a google search)
