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?
Does anyone know of a good podcatcher for windows mobile?
I use and enjoy Egress. It allows downloading of content and audio for offline listening.
Morning all. Ive have an HTC Magician in the guise of an Orange SPV M500 running WM2003SE. My work PC has Windows XP with Media Player 11 and music and videos sync perfectly. My home pc has Vista Ultimate (no laughing please) again with Media Player 11 yet everytime i try to sync anything i keep getting the same error mwssage and the PC freezes up for a moment. I have Windows Mobile Device Center installed on the Vista PC and that part of it works ok its just the music and film syncing with Windows Media Player. Can anyone help at all?
Many thanks in advance.
I posted over at PPCGeeks but haven't had any hits yet. I am on the latest Juicy8 ROM for my TP and Love it! However, I have lost the ability to sync my subscription music from Napster. The device doesn't even show up in the Napster software when connected to Activesync. I have searched everywhere but have found no solution. All other functions seem to be fine. It will show up in Windows Media Player and will sync non-DRM music just fine. Do any Chefs or devs out there have any ideas?
I am a paying Napster to Go subscriber so, I'm not trying to do anything illegal just want to be able to sync my subscription music.
Thanks in advance!!
The only media players that ive seen that can synchronise with WM6 Devices are Windows Media Player, Winamp and Songbird.. if you really want to sync music to your device easily then stick to Windows Media Player or Songbird.
I can sync with Windows Media Player, just not DRM'd tracks from Napster or any other DRM'd files. It was all working very well under WM6.5 on Juicy7 ROM. Thats why I believe it's something in the DRM. I have never heard of Songbird but I see that it supports WMDRM so, I'll give it a try and report back.
Edit: Can't sync with Songbird. Doesn't recognize the device. I wonder if it could be a MTP issue? Might be unlikely though because windows media player sees the device just fine.
FWIW I can sync my DRM'd subscription zune music to my Omnia using Windows Media Player. Not sure what type of DRM Napster uses, but I thought WM5/6 devices were "Play4Sure" compliant....
They are. I was able to sync with windows media player on all of the earlier (prior to Juicy8) builds and on pretty much every other ROM I have tried. But Juicy8 is so darn goood I cant bring myself to part ways with it. Now it's like a quest or sommething, to resolve the issue. Are you GSM or CDMA?
CDMA -Verizon Wireless Omnia i910. There a couple quirks, like if I sync an album to the phone, then flash a new ROM, it won't play. I can't just re-sync, I get this "no sync rights" error in Windows Media Player. To get around this, I have to delete the album from the library on the PC and re-download it from Zune to sync it again.
For that issue, have you tried deleting the WMDRM folder on your storage card or wherever you store your music? When I could connect after a flash I would delete that folder and then remove the sync relationship in Windows Media Player. Create a new sync partnership in WMP and then re-sync. WMP should re-download your Sync rights. At least that would work on the Touch Pro and Napster.
Other files you may need to delete: (they will be recreated upon sync)
Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
Storage Card\MSMETADATA\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
As always YMMV...
I've just tried dumping a stock diamond rom and then re-cooking it unchanged using ervius' latest kitchen (as I was planing to slowly upgrade the SYS/XIP and packages to try and see when it stopped working) and it doesn't work straight away.
Interestingly it looks like the Juicy 8 roms are also built using a PlatformRebuilder based kitchen.

I sent a PM to Bepe and am waiting for a reply. I was reading his thread and there was talk about just leaving out some files "not needed" to run a ROM. I wonder if there is something needed that just got "left out"?
So I bought my Jade and synced my Zune Pass library to it with WMP. The songs played perfectly until the next day. The next day I would get an error "A DRM error occured". I decided to sync my music again. This time WMP did not detect my Storage Card as part of my Jade so it would refuse to sync my Zune Pass content. I soon installed ironeagle's Megade ROM. Now WMP would not recognize either (internal or external storage) as PlaysForSure compatible. Now I don't know what to do.
dont use DRM i think is the proper answer.
