I don't know how the majority of you sync music to your X1s, but I've been using Windows Media Player (Desktop version) to sync all of my previous HTC phones, and figured that it would be the best way to sync my new X1 too. The issue is, as I'm sure most of you have found, that Windows Medial Player syncs playlists to the phone in .asx format, which happens to be unreadable for the media panel.
This is pretty unacceptable... (Please let me know if the newer media panel fixes this issue). So I've come up with two workarounds for you guys to choose from. The first is involves a program called "Playlist Editor". The second involves using the pay app, "CorePlayer".
Playlist Editor is a simple playlist manager for use on our devices, it allows you to save your non-compatible asx playlists in a multitude of compatible formats. Download it here
Just navigate to your playlist (even though there isn't any text that shows up, use the left softkey to go up a directory) and then goto the "Save As" menu from the program.

CorePlayer as most of you know is a robust media player, with the added feature of being able to re-save a playlist in an alternative format. Navigating it is a bit more complicated however, but it doesn't balk at any of my playlists like Playlist Editor has for a few. Here are the steps.
Step 1: Goto File>>Open>> Navigate to your playlist
Step 2: Goto Database view, and navigate to the virtual folder containing your playlist
Step 3: Click the Database softkey, and click Store As Playlist
BTW, please post if you have a more automatic solution.

As long as I know, the new MXP panel can handle desktop playlists
So with this program it's finally possible to creat playlists on the computer for the xperia media panel
@getrab
It can, but it's buggy. Some playlists are always shown as empty, I don't know why.

how do i get new wallpapers and ringtones etc etc for my XDA other than the ones they already provide?
as to ring tones then what you are really asking is
where can i get .wav .mp3 and .mid files
because you can use them all
so use google
about wallpapir then all pictures that the xda can display will do
more to the point then i feel you may be looking for skins for the today screen
which are called .tsk
here are some
http://www.free-computer-wallpapers.com/pocket-pc.htm
here is how you find some more
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=pocketpc+theme&btnG=Google-søgning
do i open download it on my computer then sync it onto my XDA or download it straight to my XDA?
for tsk files, you need to use activesync and save the file directly to your unit's"my documents" folder. for pics, the xda2 allows you use the picture software to set any pic you want as the wallpaper.
for wavs used as ringtones, you can save them direct to your unit's "windows" folder. you then need to use the "add ringtone" app to be able to use the wav file as a ringtone. or simply use them for notification sounds, alarms, etc. again, tyhrough activesync.
or if you have an sd-card reader you can simply save the files to the card, insert it back to the ppc and then save them in the designated folders described above.

I want a good old music player, something like WinAmp or alikes
I just want to click on a folder and play everything on the folder, instead of having to annoyingly having to go manually pick from Artist list, or Genre list, or Album list
so far all the Player software i've tested are like that "fancy wannabe"
Build in Samsung musci player = good player but lacks the most basic feature
Astro Player = it doesn't do it
bTunes = it doesn't do it
Rock Player = it doesn't do it
DAAP Media Player = it doesn't do it
Zimly Media Player = fancy but it doesn't do it
Vanilla Music Player = not as vanilla as it claims, it doesn't do it
MixIng = horrible junk
Kiss = it doesn't do it
.... (many hours later)
Player = woooooohoooooooo finally this one works the way i like, best thing is it also lets you set which ever tune you are listening to as the default ring tone, YES!
it can get lyrics too!

There are a lot of windows utils out there that automatically create a playlist in every music folder you have.... So, you can still use your favorite player and click a "folder", but this time as a playlist (with the folder name as its name)
have you tried double twist?

There are tools that will automatically create playlists for all your folders at once, with one click on a button so to speak. For example: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/Winamp-Playlist-Creator.shtml
But i know that there are many others out there.
When you put music on your phone the music player sometimes splits up the albums like this: (not my screenshot, credit to styckx)

I am not responsible for anything this may do to your phone, or your music (although nothing should happen to it)
This is how to fix it, simply without having to edit song on PC:
1. Go to settings > applications > media storage and tap "Clear Data"
2. Install ZduneX25's epic port of the Honeycomb music player (may work with Gingerbread player, not tried, can someone try and skip this step) from here:
On ZDuneX25's deviantART (install by replacing Music.apk in /system/app with it with root explorer, changing its permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting.
3. Open the music app and it should be sorted (worked for me)
Done!
If you want the CM7 music app's apk to copy back to /system/app as above you can download it here
If this is happening it is because the id3 tags are different somehow. You are better off just using a program to fix it.

They're exactly the same and this process sorts it. Also, a program takes ages!

I just use mp3tag on the PC. The ui is a little confusing but you can actually match the songs with the tags from amazon including embedded album art. Takes some time but my music is now perfect on every device I put it on. I have noticed Google music loses some of the metadata when uploading for some reason. I have to always re-enter the album artist for some reason.

Making your own tones
But we know many of you have a particular ringtone in mind—or sound files already on your PC that you’d like to turn into one. In Mango, we give you the flexibility to do this yourself—with some important caveats. To qualify as a ringtone, a sound file must be:
1. 39 seconds or shorter
2. smaller than 1 megabyte (MB)
3. saved in MP3 or WMA format
4. not copy-protected (i.e. DRM free)
In short, custom ringtones can be installed using the Zune software on your PC. Once you’ve created an audio file that meets the ringtone requirements, find it in your Zune music collection, right-click the file, and change the Genre field to Ringtone. Then just sync the file to your phone like you would any music track.

Don’t worry: items marked Ringtone won’t show up in your phone’s music collection—so there’s no need to fear that during a workout you’ll suddenly hear your dog barking or other homemade ring. Instead, you’ll see them in Ringtones + Sounds in Settings, under a new Custom category we’ve created.
god very nice solution, thank youuuu. it s better short way to make your own ringtones.
This trick was posted in WP7 forum at begining of September. Can be used only on Zune 4.8 final.

you can use any MP3 editor to change the Genre to ringtone as well...
I use MP3Tag
very good these tips parabens.
Does this work on alerts as well? I.e. Change the genre to ALERT?
what about alerts guys i love here you have mail then a plan tone !!!!
I have two songs that I want to change the artist name to reflect a change in letter casing. At first, I had these two songs downloaded from the gtunes music downloader app, but after discovering that the files were 128kbps, I had deleted them, although I did change the file name a day or two before deleting it. I imported these songs later on, but with a higher bit rate. The album art, song title, and album title were tagged on each song, but the artist name did not change (All the changes just involved capitalizing the artist and song tile). The file name, however, is the same as it was when I deleted it. Since noticing this problem, I have used multiple tag editing apps from the Play Store, but the HTC Sense music player does not reflect the change, nor does other local music playback apps like doubleTwist.

I used iTag, DroID3Tagger, and AudioTagger (correct me on the name if I'm wrong). In all those apps, it appears capitalized. Even when I view the two files in Windows Explorer, it's how I want it to be. Still, it doesn't match up on the music player.
Try clearing the cache and data (unless you have playlists) of the music player. It's a long shot, but perhaps the changes you've made haven't come into effect yet?
I tried those options, but there's no luck. Still the same typing on both artists...my best hypothesis on this music player right now is that it
must have some kind of cache deep in the storage that won't let me change it
