I synched my Touch Cruise with Windows Media Player and it completely filled up my Ram. It put all the music in the /Documents/Music folder
How can I set the system to put all synched Music into /Storage Card/ ??? (Music for example)
Can you also synch and play podcasts from Itunes or is there another place to get podcasts from that can be synched with the Touch Cruise?
Windows Media Player should pick up the Storage Card. So you can sync direct to that. I do.
Windows Media Player does not show the storage card as an option of a place to synch to. It just says teh device.

I know some of you said it loaded immediately?
Mine does not.... I have it stored on a 8 gb storage card in folder then called music. Then I have sub dirs for artist then another dir for album
I had to use Windows Media Player 11 to sync up the music. It tells you how to do it step by step in one of the manuals that comes with it.
I also discovered, as a Zune owner and Zune Pass Subscriber, that this technique worked with Zune Pass music as well.
The music icons in the music tab will show only if the songs are in the "Now Playing" section in the library. If you want to see al songs there just go to the library, all songs, and select a song and then they will show in the touchflo.
I haven't really used my phone as an MP3 player, but now I have a nice, big SD card in it and have decided to copy some songs over.
When I load up Media Player (I like it. So sue me.) and tell it to update the library, it doesn't see the MP3s I put on the storage card. I tried putting them in the My Documents/My Music folder on the card and I even tried putting them in the same folder as that stupid Dogbark file in the main memory and the library NEVER finds them. Is there a trick to make media player see MP3s or what? I can open the files manually and Media Player will play them just fine.
Edit:
I wanted to mention that, when I do 'Update Library', the phone says it found 40+ files, but the device library only shows 4 files (dogbark, mommy, allouete and ding) and the storage card shows nothing.
Did you switch to Storage Card (Next to the Library button there is a drop down menu)?
I guess I'll just post this, then do a double-post and tell you the problem, because the site isn't letting me post anything.
EDIT: I'm tired of windows media player half-assing all of my music, and stopping the syncing at 23% (I have a micro-sd card that's well big enough to hold what I'm putting on it, so space isn't the problem.) Can anyone recommend another program to sync my music with? (I don't want to do it manually, too much music to do it.)
I use iTunes (I know, right?) to manage my music on my pc. first I fix the id2 tags using mp3tag v2.6a from http://www.mp2tag.de (great program that will let you fix your tags and download album information from several sites on the internet and change the file names based on the tags and the tags based on the file names (use it and you'll see what i mean). then i add the music to iTunes that then finds all the album art automatically.
after that, i use a little program called iTunes agent from here http://ita.sourceforge.net/docs.html, to sync the music directly to a folder on the storage card (you can either take the storage card out and use a usb adaptor to connect it to your pc or you can set the phone to connect to the pc in disk mode, it doesn't work when connected for active sync)
the way it works, you create a playlist in iTunes and create a device in iTunes Agent with the same name as the play list, and add your music to that play list and itunes Agent will syncronize the play list to the folder you selected on your storage card when you setup the device. you can setup multiple devices too...
i hope this helps.
I just read an article about double Twist for music syncing.
I'm not comfortable with a program that connects to the internet and shares my information, but then again, that's just me.

Is there a way for all music in Play Music to be automatically selected for offline listening?
What I want is a way to copy music files to my SD card automatically without plugging it into my computer. In my perfect world, when I get one new song (on my computer), I want it to just put it in the My Music folder (on my computer) and have it sync to a Music folder on my devices Ext SD card the next time my device has a data connection. After that, Play Music (or whatever media player I'm using) would just see it as a new file and import it into my Library. If I have to open an app or push a "sync" button that's fine, but I would prefer it be automatic.
Something like Google Drive would work great if I could just assign folders to sync rather than having a "Google Drive" folder and only syncing what is in there. And "cloud storage" is not completely necessary, just store it in the cloud long enough to sync to my other devices.
Google music already automatically imports music from My Music (on my PC), it would be perfect if it automatically made all that music available offline on my phone and tablet.
Is there any app or solution that would help me?
I am often in areas where there is no data connection, so the internet streaming that Play Music offers is not quite enough for me.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
I'm looking for a solution where I can sync music stored on folders on my PC hard drive with my phone.
I've looked into Cloud music storage like Google Music, but wanted something where music would be sync'd and stored locally on my phone's memory card. Google Music requires internet to stream the music from Google's storage.
Basically, if I download a song and categorize it in my Music folder in PC (where I have subfolders for genres) - have that sync'd with storage on my phone. How could I go about setting this up?
