Just got a Hero and need help sending music from my computer to my Hero.
Thanks
Download HTC Sync and install it. Run it after it's installed, connect your Hero to the PC with the USB cable, it will go through a couple of settings.
Once it's connected to HTC Sync, on the phone at the top of the screen, drag it down and select "USB connected" Then "Mount"
You should be able to access your SD card now. Then I usually just use WMP to sync with my Hero but you could create a folder on your SD card called "Music" then just copy and paste any album folder onto your SD card.
No need to get HTC sync, just plug the phone in via usb, drag notification bar down and 'mount' then just open the external device (the phone) folder in my computer, drag whatever you want to the phone, create folders if you like for extras, like notifications, music, ringtones etc, the phone knows what these are for.
I use windows media player. Just drop and drop music onto the sync tab and when ready click on sync. This assumes you first have all your music loaded into windows media player.

I want ot sync a directory on my stoarage (Music) with my computer. WMP wont work with what I am trying to do. How do you change where activesync syncs to when you select the files category
Mobsync
I went nuts last night trying to find a way to install/sync files to my storage card like I did with my palm Treo 650. It appears that activesync does not do this at all. On pocketpcfreewares.com I found a program that can keep any directory main storage or card in syn with a directory on the pc. It works well but it occasionally fails to notice the device is connected. Read the instructions before using. All I know is that now I can sync my ebooks and my Plucker/VadeMecum/Sunrise RSS feeds without having to move it manually.
I threw a few music files in the MY PDA folder under My Documents on my PC and expected them to sync accross to my Vario II. After connecting the phone it sent a couple across then I got a warning on the phone that 'Storage Memory is Critically Low'. Obviously the files had been synced onto the phone. Thought you would be able to specify to sync onto the phone storage card but there is no option for this anywhere.
Anyone know a way to do this?
if you set up the sync option for media player in active sync and then set up the playslists you want to sync in media player on your pc it will automatically set up the folders on your card and transfer the files. it does warn not to drag and drop onto the card of you want the sync process to work.
Cheers cdyat, but this was more of a test. For instance, what if I want to sync 30Mb of Office files with my phone. It would appear that I can't just put these in the My PDA Sync folder to be copied next time I connect, but I have to cut and paste from the relevant folders.
This to me seems ridiculous but I can't see an option to change the location to sync with the storage card anywhere.
You can only sync files, be default, into main memory. There are two 3rd party apps available (Sorry can't remember the names) that will allow you to Sync anything to anywhere. One is commercial and the other is a Japenglish conversion. Try searching these forums for links.
I am all for searching, but if anyone comes up with a name for those two apps, please post =)
As another user recently posted in this forum, Pocket Controller has a Sync Manager that can be used to synchronize files and folders to any location, including storage cards.
Pocket Controller sounds very nice but $35 is quite a lot just to enable me to sync a folder to my storage card.
I had assumed there must be a registry setting somewhere on the PC that would change the default path?
Try these

YMMV, but have a nice day...
Cheers Daniel, Mobsync looks like it might do the trick.
Acid Sync - Sync Computer Folder to SD Card\Folder
A guy I know is working on a program to do this with a much easier configuration since it just syncs Desktop folder to Storage Card folder. Pretty simple really, copy mp3 or whatever to desktop folder and it will sync to PPC folder and viceversa. Still in beta though

I'm using Missing Sync to backup and sync my HD2 to my Mac.
I read that I can add my own ringtones to the notifications (SMS, email, etc) by putting the mp3's into the Documents folder, or maybe the Windows folder. When I try to drag mp3's into those folders (using Missing Sync) i cannot complete the task, and get error messages.
Anyone here have success with their Mac doing this?
I was able to drag in mp3's to my Ringtone folder for the phone ringtones...

Thanks, worked great.
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 ...
type: music sync app
purpose: to automatically sync a folder on your PC with a folder on your phone when you enter the wireless network when this PC is on.
OK, example, you have a folder on your PC that is named "music". when your phone connects to your wireless network this App looks at this folder (if available,ex. turned off computer)
If there is a new song in this folder, the app automatically downloads it to the folder on the phone (sd card).
I have tried audio galaxy, its so so, i wish i could just look at a whole list of all my song like a normal player does. yes there are playlist, but come on.
Worth creating?
Also i thought this might come in handy with car's, say you drive in your driveway and your car connects to your wireless, noticing that you have 15 new songs waiting to be synced to the hard drive in the car. without user input needed the files are copied over, available when ever needed.

It would be nice to have an option to autosync via ssh. I imagine these apps can be improved but it's out there.
