since i started using winmo devices several years ago ive always had a big problem syncing my music via wmplayer on my pc to my device.at best its a long,laborious and tedious process until now.
ive been trying out several apps to play music on my samsung b7610 and came across pocket tunes.i downloaded the trial w/c comes with an itunes sync module for pc(it installs to your desktop) and an app w/c installs via activesyc onto the winmo phone.i tried out the itunes sync to transfer music and playlists to the b7610 and it was a straightforward process not unlike syncing your ipod to itunes(very easy).i tried the pocket tunes app on my pocket pc and true enough my music was there,all organized into playlists like in itunes and ready to go.i put on my earphones(a pair of klipsch in ear monitors) played a few songs and found pocket tunes very unsatisfying so i uninstalled it.
next up on my try out list was an app called kinoma play,so i installed it,updated its library and after it did its updating,lo and behold,my music was still there,complete with playlists and album art.curious i opened up my touch media player(built in player by samsung)updated and again my music was there.tried the same thing on wmp mobile and wasnt dissapointed.the music was still there.
i tried playing around with the sync module,taking out playlists,adding songs to itunes etc... and it still synced.
finally i have solved a problem ive had all these years trying to sync itunes with my winmo device.give it a try.heres a link to pocket tunes trial

Hey Folks,
I have a windows mobile touchscreen device (Omnia) and I am interested in getting my subscription Zune music to play on it. As most of you may know this music is DRM'd since I technically don't "own" the music and only get to play it as long as I pay my subscription fee.
Anyway, I found in an article that if I sync my Omnia via ActiveSync, it shows up in the "Sync" tab in Windows Media Player. From here I can drag albums over to my Omnia and they will play in Windows Mobile Media Player, s2p, etc.
Here is my problem: For some reason, a large portion of my Zune music has a little error next to it saying "No Sync Rights". There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to what I can and cannot sync. I believe the Zune pass allows the music to be synced to up to 3 devices. I only have one zune, so there is no reason I can't sync with my Zune and my Omnia. One thing I did notice, if I sync to my phone, then I do a hard reset, the music I had synced now has "no sync rights". It's like WMP doesn't know that data was removed.
My question is:
* How does WMP and the Zune software know what songs are and arn't on my Zune?
* Is there anyway to prove/reset my sync count so I can sync more of my music properly?
* Any other Zune+WinMo users out there have any success stories to share?
Thanks a lot!

"3 devices" means 3 Zunes.
Microsoft doesn't support syncronization outside of Zunes.
However, some users have said that their Zune Pass music works on their phone. Idk how, I have the same "problem" as you. Microsoft needs to integrate stuff better though.
I just upgraded to the HD2 from the Touch Pro, but this problem occurred on both devices.
I have 5 playlists with 400+ songs in each. Last week these worked fine in WMP mobile. The day before yesterday, I installed a new 6.5.3 based ROM on the Touch Pro. When I clicked the same playlists, WMP mobile would stop responding. I didn't really bother try to fix this, as I knew I was changing phones soon anyway.
Today I got the HD2 and the same thing is happening on it. Stock O2 ROM.
WMP plays music fine when I use the library to go to all music. But the playlists cause it to crash. I have no idea why. Core player can open the playlists fine.
Anyone have any ideas? Why are these playlists suddenly causing problems in WMP mobile since upgrading WinMo on the Touch Pro or using the HD2?
Thanks
Maybe some corrupt music files?
Did you try playing from HTC's manila player?
The manila player also plays the individual songs fine. If I choose a playlist in Manila player, it appears empty.
Core player plays the playlists fine however. I have resynced the playlists on my PC and I performed a disk check on the SDHC card.
I don't get it
I have a HTC touch HD and the media player works fine on mine as well...it could be corrupt files...
I dont think its the HD2s fault either, since the same happened on the Touch Pro I had. The only thing they both share is a newer version of Windows Mobile, but that shouldn't cause it either. I have deleted and resynced the playlists, but still WMP crashes.
Also, the playlists work in Core Player.
Ok, so I opened one of the playlists in Notepad and deleted all the entries except for one song. When I then opened that playlist in WMP, it worked.
This problem is pretty complicated since it works for coreplayer...
Maybe just some code which is not used in coreplayer, but used in WMP, was corrupt.
Have you tried making new playlists?

I just formatted the SDHC card, and am now re-syncing everything. I've created a new smaller playlist and will try that out when its done.
I did edit one of the larger playlists down to about 20 songs before I formatted, and that opened fine.
What I really don't get is why this worked last week on my WinMo 6.1 Touch Pro. Same card, same files.
Pretty weird. But I can't help you any further.
I'm finished putting all my songs and playlists back now. The same thing is happening though.
I added a top 50 playlist, and that works fine. It's as if there is some limit that causes wmp to crash. But the same playlists worked on my non-updated Touch Pro.
I can't figure this out . I've tried everything I can think of. Reformatted the card and hard-reset the phone. Any player other than Windows media player than I've tried opens the playlists fine. Windows media player opens all music fine, and the smaller Top 50 playlist, but crashes on the others.
I much prefer wmp because of its ability to search the now playing list so well, aswell as the A2DP controls working while sense is enabled.
I wish I could get this fixed...
Hey people,
I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.
Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.
Here's my issue;
Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.
Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.
I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.
On my PC for syncing i have tried
-WMP
-Winamp
-MediaMonkey
-DoubleTwist
All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.
As for android apps/media players i have tried:
-Cubed
-Winamp
-Mort Player
-Media PlayerPro
-Mixzing
-Astro Player
When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.
However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.
I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.
The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.
Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.
So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.
Howdy, I'm not having any luck getting my playlists I've run for years recognized on this phone. As far as I can tell from my research, Nougat simply does not recognize playlists not made on the phone anymore. Is there not any player that will recognize imported playlist anymore? I cannot believe that after a year of this operating system, there is simply no way to populate playlists off the phone. And I can't even get Music Manager to update online to Google for Play Music either. Is everyone spending hours remaking all their playlists? Am I doomed to use an iPod whenever I want to play my own music as I'd like? Thank-you for any input. I'm tremendously frustrated with this.
I've finally gotten Music Manager to delete the outdated library and am in the process of reuploading my library. However, I'd rather listen to music on my device rather than from the cloud if at all possible.
Update
I was able to accomplish outstanding music management and bring my playlists along to my current phone using iSyncr. It recommends music players of its own which are sufficient. However, the playlists it recreated from my laptop made my old player (PlayerPro) of many years and even Samsung Music start playing playlists again on Nougat. The syncing process was fairly quick and painless.
I haven't figured out how to change my username since I decided I like iPhone better than Android.
I want to copy my personal music collection onto my iPhone but when I tried to at the library by connecting the mp3 player and the iPhone to separate USB cables to the Windows computer, it wouldn't let me and later I found out from Apple that there is a restriction where you have to use iTunes. Because I don't have my own computer at home I was wondering if there are any alternatives, and someone at the Apple Store suggested that syncing the mp3s with iTunes may still not allow the playback of the mp3s if they weren't specifically purchased through Apple Music.
So what would be a good alternative way to transfer my music collection onto the iPhone? I tested a web-site in Google Chrome that is a YouTube to mp3 converter called "mp3 juices" that allows you to download audio from YouTube into mp3 files. It worked on iPhone and I was able to import mp3s into a music player app called the Audius Music Player. Since the Audius Music Player works in this way, I suppose I could copy all 12 GB of my music collection onto Google Drive and than download the songs one by one and than import them into the Audius Music Player app but I think this may be rather tedious to click to download on each individual song until I downloaded 12 GB of music. Also the free version of Audius Music Player says it has limits so I don't know if there would be a limitation on the amount of music that can be downloaded.
Would there be a way to save all the music album folders and files into one large zip file and unzip the music files onto the iPhone?
Another suggestion mentioned to me by someone is the VLC media player, but VLC on iPhone requires iTunes to sync the music into VLC media player and so I may want to get away from having to deal with iTunes.
Lol, I thought everything was easy on iPhones...
Try this.
Meh, I've used iPhones for work and I'll take my N10+'s over them any day.
DRM sucks... you are now part of the machine.

You have to use iTunes. Don't have a computer? Get one. IPhones don't behave like android, it's either iTunes or you don't. They are more locked down.
