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.
is there any alternative sync software for Windows Phone? Zune is too complex. I find it very difficult when using especially when i wanna sync my fav songs. it doesnt have any fast search feature, so u how to scroll endlessly through your music library. I cant even sync my itunes playlist to my phone.
Is there any other simple and easy to use software out there or anyway to sync my Windows phone with itunes music library. (because of itunes simplicity)
Hello all, I have just recieved my Nexus 4 last week, i am struggling to transfer all my stuff over from iphone 4s (ios) to android..

Emails - Should be synced to email account...
Media - sync to your pc, it should be in the itunes folder of your pc
I am not sure how to do the others, if I can get a hold of my mom's iPhone I'll see how to do the others.
Does this not work?

Mind you, it looks old.
The google music software is really good for getting your iTunes music onto android. Just download the software and choose the folder where your iTunes music is stored and it uploads it all to the cloud (I think you can have 20,000 songs) then if you get the google music app on your device you can then either stream your tracks or kitchen download them to your phone.

so after spending several hours with the crappy pc xbox music app creating playlists only to find out there is no way to sync it to my windows phone unless they are drm music content from the xbox music store via cloud sync, which my music is mp3 drm free content btw and I have no renewed my music pass because im earning my bing points back to a free pass, I was going crazy trying to figure out how to sync a playlist of mp3s to my windows phone
well I had to use WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER to sync a playlist to my windows phone! good old windows media player
as much as I am a winphone fanboy the xbox music app is the worst music app ever!!!!!!!!

Same thing with PC, after this new update, I keep getting 80070002 error when trying to sync or play certain (random) MP3 files that use to work just fine.
Use itunes for create playlist and import with windows phone app desktop.
Simple stuff. I am looking for a program that can sync my music everytime I plug in my S4...
All it literally has to do is sync music. It doesn't have to play it or even edit the music tags or information, it simply needs to sync to my S4 external SD card. I just point the program to the folder I want to sync to and it adds everything that isn't on the SD card. just like an iPhone
Any recommendations?

I use isyncr and itunes (blasphemy I know).
But it works well for me, I have it wireless sync on a schedule both ways (playcounts, ratings, playlists). Or you can have it sync over usb (gets annoying everytime I plug my phone into the computer though tbh).
You can use whatever android media player you want - needs to be itunes on the pc though.
