I was wondering if anyone has any cool solution for this problem: I use winamp with Media Library plugin. I build my playlist with Media Library. I want to be able to plug in my Tilt, and have it automatically sync all my playlists without any other user intervention. Kinda like an iPod with iTunes.
I don't like iTunes, I could use another mp3 program other than winamp as long as it has instant search and drag-and-drop to playlist. My Tilt runs Conduit Pocket Music.
My current solution involves using "Playlist Sync" (google it). It doesn't work seamlessly because it doesn't like the .m3u8 playlist format. I have to convert .m3u8 to .m3u to make it work, only 2 clicks, but I want it to be seamlessly.
And as a general question for all you music lovers with Tilts: you have a 4GB MicroSD card on your tilt, how do you manage your mp3s?
The latest winamp comes with the activesync plugin. I don't know where it puts the playlists since they don't show up when I sync them. You can use WM5torage to mount the card and use the pmp_usb plugin which is more configurable or remove the card and put it in a reader for faster transfer.
tried that

the winamp activesync plugin still requires me to drag and drop the playlist that i want, then it takes a while to transfer all the songs, even the ones that it supposedly already synced .... ???
Look on the preferences. It has the option to choose which playlists to sync. You must set them when it is connected. It is slow because it's not high speed USB. Use a card reader for faster transfer. Note that you'll need an SDHC compatible one.

I would like a piece of software that will download whatever Podcasts i want (either on my PC or PPC) and then ensure that they're on my device for when i'm travelling. It should save them to SD too...
Does anyone have any good recommendations?
I'd like to set up a sync with some of the BBC podcasts for example...
I use Doppler to pull down my podcasts from the web and Windows media player 11 to sync (using a playlist) to my phone.
The only thing I can't get to sync is video podcast's.
I have a T-mobile wing, I'm using WMP 10 on my laptop that I sync up my playlists thru WMP sync. I have also taken the SD card out and sync up thru my card reader on my desktop. I always get the songs sync'd to my card, but the "playlist" is not there. I got ONE on my phone on accident, don't have a clue how I did it, haven't been able to do it again.
What am I doing wrong? This seems like it should be a pretty easy thing to do and it's getting VERY frustrating.
Thanks
Dump WMP and use the HTC AudioManager. You won't have to worry about a playlist since it gives you a very "ipod" like interface. Unless you really want the playlist, in that case, unfortunately, I can't help you as I don't use my phone for music much and thus never bother setting up playlists.
Please be patient, I am new to HTC and WM6 and I'm hoping to get some recommendations
I have about 4GB of music on my micro SD that I copied off my iPod, so it's in acc format which the audio manager doesn't recognize. I downloaded TCPMP and the acc plugin and it plays the music but its doesn't show the song info (title, artist etc) till you open the song.
Also you can't search by artist, or genre like you can in audio manager
Can anyone recommend a good audio player or someway to get audio manager to recognize acc files
I really prefer opera mini over IE but I have to go into the java app first to select it, is there anyway to get an opera shortcut onto the start screen
I really appreciate any advice or tips for the newbie questions
Opera Mobile is designed for smartphones and should give you a regular icon to load it with, mini is made primarily for regular phones with only their crappy build in browsers which is why it works only in java.
iTunes music is the most annoying on planet earth. You can convert it to mp3 or delete the DMA off of it to allow it to play properly but its time consuming and annoying. I dont know of any plugin for Audio Manager that will allow you to play the iTunes music, only what other people have created for other players.
Now if these songs were once full on mp3's or cd's that you copied into iTunes you would be better off copying / ripping those files over to the sd card.

Yeah most of it is CD rips, I was hoping to avoid having to rip them again
When you initially ripped them did you tell iTunes to connect to the net and pull the information and creat an id3 tag for it? If not then thats why none of the track info is pulling over. iTunes will read the title / cd / artist name off the disct but when you use them as mp3's or in other players I have heard of some issues with the information not being read properly...
All my music is in mp3, ogg, FLAC and other formats on my computer, if my wife wants anything she pulls it over. She has bought some things off iTunes but they are such a pain to use elsewhere that eh.
You should have set ITunes to only rip to MP3 for compatibility reasons such as this. I'm not too sure what/if anything can read aac files on Windows Mobile. I know their is a way to get Opera Mini's icon as well as a way to have it function as your default browser (that is clicking on hyperlinks in e-mails, sms, ect) bring you to Opera Mini. There's quite a lot of info on that if you search.
As far as Opera Mobile, yea it may be designed for Smartphone, and yea it may be better than IE, but it does not in anyway compete with Opera Mini in terms of speed and website rendering.
Hello everyone - I think either I've missed posts on this, my "buzz words" are not correct, OR... it's only MY issue.
Trying to download and play MP3s. The download perfectly to my computer. Now...
1. Took FOREVER to Active Sync the files over to MY DOCUMENTS for my device. Is there another way?
2. Now that they're over there, I successfully move them to my storage card. When I ask Media Player to "update the library", it pulls everything in to include my voice commands for TOM TOM!
3. I want to create a playlist, but for some reason I don't know how. I click on MY PLAYLISTS (selecting Storage Card of course), and it finds NOTHING!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Do you have a memory card reader for your computer? if so just load everything up on your memory card and just put it in your phone
No card reader I'm afraid. My wife has a Treo 650, and the files just FLY right over when she syncs. And now that the files are OVER there, I can't put them in a play list. I guess I don't know how. And I'm searching the net fevorishly trying to find out! The Treo 650 uses Real Player, and I'm using the Media Player that came with Dutty's 4/29 hybrid.

Try plugging the device into the computer, click on explore, mobile device, storage card, create a my music folder in there, then just select the songs you want to move, drag and drop them. It does take a little while to transfer, especially if the music files are good quality. After that is done, open windows media player search for new tunes, make sure it is searching in storage card, my music. That should do it. I never use activesync to move files. btw htc media player is very basic and doesn't have play lists wmp does.
I have an 8MB SDHC card in my TyTn II and was contemplating using Windows Media Player Synch. It says in the manual that you can aslo synch the storage card but regardless of what I try I cannot get WMP on the PC to see the storage card?? When I use Windows Explorer on the PC I can see and navigate to it and examine the content in it, but not with Windows Media Player? I have a My Music folder on the card and there are WMA and MP3 files in there.
Is it a WMP glitch perhaps or is there something I should have done (card formatting - it's a brand new card though, never been in another device) or perhaps need to do???
I recently had the same problem: I could view the contents of my 8GB Sandisk in File Manager, Total Commander or Resco Explorer, I could create, update and use the library in HTC Audio Manager, but WMP could not see the storage card and therefore could not update the library (it could work from its saved record of the library before I deleted that).
At the same time, Outlook began having problems. Any time I would try to open an attachment (attachments are stored on the storage card) it would take several minutes to open and the application (usually Word) would be so sluggish as to be unusable. Also, Pocket Player was taking about 5 minutes to start up (I'm assuming that it was doing a library scan before opening).
The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a new ROM. Hard reset and restoring a backup did not work and decided that if I was going to hard reset and start setting up again from scratch, which might work, then I might as well try a new ROM.

What version of WMP do you have on the PC and what OS? What you want worked OK for me with a Win XP Pro SP3 PC using WMP 11 and AS 4.5. WMP even categorised all my MP3s into individual artist folders on the card (6 GB Sandisk). WMP 11 saw my TyTN II and because I wanted to transfer more than the remaining internal storage space on my TyTN II worth of MP3s across, was clever enough to automatically put them all on the card.
I might try the ROM/WM 6.1 upgrade from the HTC site. I have it downloaded but was reluctant to install bearing in mind the various problem threads.
I am running Windiows Vista Business and have Media Player 11. It seems odd that Windows Explorer can see the Storage Card but not Media Player. I cannot add it by browsing via 'Add to Library' either. Not too crticial for me as there are other methods (indeed other players) to get music across but it's one of those things that now I know it's not working - I'd like to fix).
