it uses 99 % of the CPU and everything lags. This wmplayer.exe is created whenever i connect my htc to computer and use activesync.
still not resolved. Wmplayer.exe is spawned and hogging my cpu resources.
is it set to sync music? with wmp on the pc?
i disabled wmplayer sync on my computer. now it doesnt spawn that **** anymore.

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.
Hi,
I've had a search on the forums and cannot find an answer to my question so....
Activesync works fine emails, contacts etc all sync perfectly. My problem is when i try to sync my playlist on WMP11 to my device after about 5-10 secs of syncing the computer freezes and then restarts with no warning whatsoever
Could it be that the playlist is too long? I still have 2.3Gb of space left on my internal storage and not all the memory taken up is music.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried an uninstall of Activesync and re-downloaded and installation with no change to my problem.
PC is WIndows XP sp3 and Activesync 4.5, Windows media player 11
Many thanks,
Sjrh
I'm running windows vista, and i've really starting to get annoyed by this auto sync prompt that windows media player does if you have it open. I'm not sure if you guys have run into it, but if i'm watching a movie, or video in WMP on my desktop, and i connect my device to sync or charge via usb...it minimized the video and switches to the sync tab. is there ANYWAY to disable this so wmp does nothing i've search around and can't seem to find anything.
Well I'm not totally sure, but I know in Vista if you go to the Control Panel and go to Auto Play you can disable some things.
I'm in the same boat simbadogg. Still looking for a solution. Will post if I find one...
yeah, i fixed that a while ago...u can change it so when you sync your device, it doesn't have the lil popup come onto the screen (when you normally insert a cd, usb drive etc...the ones that ask you what you want to do). So that was easy to take care of, but it looks like microsoft thinks that every storage device wants to be synced w/ WMP. gahhhh'd...idiots. well, i guess i'll keep searching.
I think it should solve it if you disable media sharing in the PC Windows Media Player options.

media sharing has zilch to do w/ wmp and its syncing. i have it on now since i got my ps3, but this has always been a problem even before i had it on.
Disable WMP sync
I have disabled the Portable Device Enumerator Service and it seems that this autosync (and WMP remaining "alive" in the background) has now ended.
No secondary effects detected.
Think it is one more of those Services that Microsoft activates by default and we have to turn off so our computers can run Vista.
Thanks for this info. I stumble upon it and it does indeed help.
Cheers,
NTD

Edit: Doesn't work
I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 Professional. I connect my Nexus One via USB and it shows up in Device Manager under Portable Devices. I open Windows Media Player, click the Sync tab, and my Nexus One shows up as a connected device. I can add playlists, songs, etc to the list and sync it to the phone.
On my laptop, running Windows 7 Home Ultimate, when I connect the N1 to it, it does not show up in Device Manager as a Portable Device. It shows up as a Disk Drive. So when I open Media Player, the Sync tab does not show it.
I tried downloading the 2.2 SDK with the USB r3 drivers. However, when I add the ADB drivers, it shows up as a HTC Dream. The only other option in there is Android ADB Interface. If I right click and update driver, it installs the HTC Dream drivers and puts the ! by it as it is not connected.
Why is it, that my desktop, which I've loaded 0 drivers, can see the N1 as a Portable Device to sync to media player, by my laptop cannot even with the USB r3 drivers?
Desktop is a Dell Optiplex 760 and laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-FW285J.
Warning: Incoming rant below. Feel free to skip to the question at the very bottom.
I had synced my Windows Media Player Playlist into HTC Sync Manager and synced the playlist to my phone via Sync Manager 5 or so months ago. Since then I have added a few songs (about 30) to the playlist, and today tried to sync the new songs to my phone today. I then watched the progress indicator sit at 1% for about 5 minutes before progressing to 2%.
"This is completely unacceptable!" I thought to myself. For years I've used Windows Media Player to sync my music to my devices, which does so much more quickly than this. "Screw HTC Sync Manager. I'm going to just use Windows Media Player.". Unfortunately, when attempting to do that, I was met with a generic error screen. Multiple attempts ended the same way.
Apparently I'm left with two options. I can either spend a day updating my phone via HTC Sync Manager whenever I get new music, or I can use the drag and drop method so often recommended to others sharing similar issues with HTC Sync Manager. The problem with that is it requires me to create a separate folder, organize all of my music (many gigs worth of my favorite individual songs from many albums) into designated sub-folders, and copy all of those songs, paste them into their appropriate folders, and waste lots of time and valuable space on my computer's tiny hard drive. At the risk of sounding whiny, I ask you guys;
Is there an alternative way/program to sync my Windows Media Player playlists to my HTC One without using HTC Sync Manager or having to Drag and Drop files (Or is there a way to drag and drop the playlist so that it transfers the music in the playlist to the phone instead of just the playlist file)? Thanks in advance!
I believe I may have found a solution...
I DL'd SyncPlaylist and am in the process of Syncing my WMP Playlist with a portable flash drive. Once this is completed, I'll drag and drop the files onto the Phone.
I'm only 5% into it now, but will post the results once it's finished.
