Morning guys

Slight issue with I hope an easy answer. My pc has mediaplayer 10 on it, and I have a pocket pc which acts as my portable mp3 player, a T-Mobile MDA Compact running Windows Mobile.

To get tunes on to the storage card on the ppc I need to sync it with mediaplayer generated playlists. I've downloaded a fair amount of stuff off soulseek (for evaluation purposes ;) ), but when I build the playlist not all of it shows. eg there's an album which I can see in Windows Explorer on the pc, 10 tracks showing as winamp files, but only half show on the playlist in mediaplayer. How can I get so I can see them all and then sync them? It's driving me mad to be honest.....

As a secondary I can't get rid of mediaplayer 10, much prefer 9, but that's another story :mad:

Sounds to me as if you are lacking in some codecs which are not allowing WMP to reproduce some files. Are u sure all the files are mp3 and not mka, mkv, ogg etc ?
Click to expand...

Taking one folder as an example they all show as Winamp media files. What I really don't get is I download a full album as a folder via soulseek, so it seems a fair assumption that someone ripped it as one folder in one process. Wouldn't this mean that the same codecs would be used for the whole album? I can only see half of it in the playlist builder.... weird.

Any thoughts?

I ran a winamp library find command type thing which changed all my tune icons to wmp, would that effect things? I tried to reverse it by doing a library search in media player which had no effect. Struggling to be honest.

Appreciated Myk, but maybe I haven't explaiend the problem that well. I can play them on the pc, but I can't get them to show on a playlist to sync to the device.

I'm slowly getting there I think by changing some properties, will keep working on it and let you know.

thanks again Myk.
