4.4Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures

If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, ActiveSync works with Windows Media Player to synchronize music, video, and pictures with your device.

Other than selecting the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must be set in Windows Media Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must do the following:

•Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC. (Windows Media Player 10 works only in Windows XP or later versions).

•Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If your device is currently connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.

•Insert a Micro SD card into your device (32MB or larger is recommended).

•Set up a sync partnership between the Micro SD card and Windows Media Player.

Change Media synchronization settings

Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, any of your favorite music, video, and picture files in Windows Media Player playlists can be synchronized. All you have to do is set up synchronization in Windows Media Player for those media files.
