I deleted all of my music and incidentally, the playlists from my storage card and set the X1 up for autosync with WMP11. The music and the playlists went into directories on my storage card called "Music" and "Playlists". The playlists appear in the multimedia player accessed from the spb panel but do not appear in the sony media panel! I found out that if you create a playlist through the Media Panel, these gointo the device itself under "My Documents/My Music and these are not compatible with the media player versions - great!
Anyone know of a fix for this as I dont want to recreate all of my playlists so that I can use them in the media panel!
Regards,
Alan
I just discovered the same thing. This is a annoying. I have set up several auto playlists in WMP11 and they sync just fine with my other MP3 (which I hoped that the X1 could replace, even bought 16Gb microSD card for this). Now I have to recreate these playlists again on the X1.
I had the same issue. Decided to go the apple way. Got all of my music and playlists setup on iTunes. Installed Pocket Tunes for the sync portion and it copied all of my music and itunes playlists to my SD card. So far, it's been very very stable, keeps in sync, the playlists are recognized by SE media panel and most other winmo media players because they're standard .m3u format.

I have been working on this all weekend. After syncing a small playlist it all seemed to work. Then I started to re-rate all 2000+ songs in my library (as WMP does not store the ratings in the MP3 tags, iTunes did not import those ratings) as I often use playlists based on ratings. I finally started to sync all my music and pocket tunes sync keeps crashing This is very annoying.
Does anyone have another solution to get your MP3 library synchronized on your Xperia with working playlists in the Media Panel?
P.S. I also tried S2P. It look great, but it keeps crashing as my library is over 8Gb.
What version of windows are you currently running? I'm on XP and my version of Pocket Tunes is 4.1.2045 . Another option is to get the free windows version of Salling Media Sync, it'll sync your iTunes library as well as playlists, but to get it to work you have to switch your USB to PC settings so that your phone works as a mass storage device and bypasses active sync.

I am using Vista Business 32 bit. I am currently testing Salling Media Sync right now. I had it first on ActiveX USB to PC setting, which gave problems. I just discovered that I have to switch it and am now testing it with the mass storage device setting. For me that would not be a problem, as I generally sync my Outlook and files either via Bluetooth or GPRS/HDSPA.
Here's something else I found, I may try it out tomorrow http://ita.sourceforge.net/ , it's called iTunes Agent.

I saw that one, but you can only synchronize ONE playlist with your device, not multiple playlists that will also be available as multiple playlists on the device itself.
I think your issue with all these sync programs is Vista compatibility. If you get a chance, try XP, if you can't, try running xp on a virtual machine within your Vista install.
Another thing you can try is, right click on your pocket tunes executable go to properties and do a "run as administrator" on it, also select the compatibility mode to Windows XP, hopefully, it won't crash the next time.
I use MediaMonkey to organize my MP3s.
Syncing my Music to the HD is no problem.
The MP3s get copied to \<microSD>\Music\Artist\Album\xxx.mp3
AlbumArt does also work with TF3D-Music Player.
But who do I sync/copy playlists with MediaMonkey to the hd?
MediMonkey copies the selected playlist to \<microSD>\playlists\ wich is correct for WMP.
But the TF3D-Music Player searches in \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\ for playlists.
And MediaMonkey canot copy the playlist there.
1. I connected the HD as "File Mode" via USB (not "ActiveSync" or "Modem"). So there is no access to this path.
2. If I would connect the HD via "Active Sync", MediMonkey would not know to copy the playlists to that path and to correct the relative path in the playlist.
I although couldn't find any Reg-key to change the playlist-folder of TF3D-Music.
I hope you understand what I am saying.
And maybe can give me a solution.
btw: No, I dont want to use Windows Media Player to sync my MP3s.
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?
Right, basically I got my leo 2 weeks ago, its a UK one on Vodafone. Because I have a mac I brought Missing Sync for Windows Mobile in order to sync it. It was great because it let me sync everything fine, even my itunes playlists. After the first time I Synced it I went onto the HTC sense music tab, onto the playlists part of it and my playlists were there but they were empty
I then went on windows media player, updated the library and my playlists showed up, had all the right tracks in them and played fine, i checked the Sense music player and the playlists were still empty.
The .asx files are on the phone here:
Storage Card/My Documets/My Music/Missing Sync
and this is what it looks like inside the missing sync folder (attached .jpg)
I was wondering if maybe the problem is where the .asx files are, but I am probably completely wrong.
So if any of you can help me I will be very grateful, thanks.
Hi,
I have a strange problem syncing audio to my HD2 (and for that mater an old ETEN X800 as well - so I think its a WM6.x problem in general). My PC music library is stored in lossless wma format. I use Media Player 12 under Win7 x64 to sync to the HD2 having it transcode to 128k wma.
Once synced to the HD2, Media Player on the HD2 will not play the files. It gives the error "Cannot perform the requested action". The original files are not DRM they were ripped from my own CDs. I have an old SD card with the same library of music ripped to the same format which was synced using Vista under WMP11 on an older phone and these will play!
If I turn off the "Convert files" option in WMP12 and sync an MP3 file it plays - so its only wma files that are effected.
It seems there is some compatibility issue between WMP12 transcoded wma files and Windows Mobile ? I know there are other tools around to sync music, I'd just like to keep all syncing to the one process (email, nusic etc)
Regs

you will probably get better results if you move the music to the sd card directly, not using sync.
If I use a third-party converter to convert the same file to 128k wma and then copy it manually it plays fine, so it's definitely an issue with WMP12 syncing.
Copying the "broken" wma back to a PC it will play though in WMP12 but its tags in explorer are missing!
