Copy media files to your device
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or
later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a
file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using
the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files.
Always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into your
device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into a storage
card reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal storage location
(RAM) in your device.
To synchronize content to your device automatically
1. Power off your device. Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into your
device, and turn the power back on.
2. On your PC, start Windows Media Player.
3. Connect your device to your PC.
4. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and PC,
the Device Setup Wizard opens on your PC.
5. In the wizard, click Automatic, select the Customize the playlists
that will be synchronized check box, and then select the playlists
that you want to synchronize.
6. Click Finish.
7. The files begin synchronizing to your device. The next time you
connect your device to your PC while the desktop version of Windows
Media Player is running, synchronization will start automatically.
To synchronize and copy content manually to your device
1. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and
PC, follow steps 1 to 6 in “To synchronize content to your device
automatically”, except that you should click Manual synchronization.
2. To choose files to synchronize and copy to your device, do the
following:
• Click the Library tab.
• In the rightmost pane, click the drop-down list and select Sync
List.
