Windows Media Player

181

On the Library screen, you can switch between the My Device library and any other libraries that are available to your Smartphone.

When you turn on your Smartphone and open Windows Media Player, the program automatically searches the internal storage location of your Smartphone for compatible digital media files. If it finds any, they are added to the My Device library.

Similarly, when you insert a removable storage card* into your Smartphone, Windows Media Player asks you if you want to search it for content. If you agree, Windows Media Player adds any content it finds to a Mounted Volume library.

If you copy new files to your Smartphone or storage card* and they do not appear in the library, you can manually update the library by using the Update Library command.

About Synchronization

Use the Sync feature in the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later) to automatically copy your favorite audio files, video files, and playlists from your desktop Player library to your Smartphone Player library every time you connect your Smartphone to your computer.

For more information about synchronization, see the desktop Player Help.

About Playlists

A playlist is a list of digital media files that play in a specified order. By using playlists, you can group audio and video files together for convenient playback.

For example, in the desktop Player, you can create a playlist of upbeat songs to listen to when you exercise or a playlist of soothing songs to enjoy during a long flight. When you synchronize with the latest desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later), your favorite playlists are automatically copied to your Smartphone.

You can also create a temporary playlist, called Now Playing, directly on your Smartphone. It is available from the Now Playing menu. It lists the currently playing file, as well as any files that have been “queued up” to play next. The contents of the Now Playing list are not saved on your Smartphone when you power it off.

About Licenses and Protected Files

Some digital media files (such as songs downloaded from online stores, including Napster and MusicNow) are encrypted to prevent the files from being unlawfully distributed or shared.

Content providers, such as online stores, use a technology called digital rights management (DRM) to encrypt the files. During the encryption process, the content provider creates a license which specifies how and when the file can be used.

For example, a content provider could create a license that allows you to play a certain file on your computer, but not on your Smartphone. Or a content provider could create a license that allows you to play a certain file on your Smartphone, but only for a month.

Files that have licenses associated with them are called protected files.

I920, I930 specifications

Nextel Communications, once a major player in the wireless telecom industry, introduced a range of innovative devices that catered to the needs of both personal and business users. Among them, the Nextel i930 and i920 stand out as significant models that combined features of traditional mobile phones with push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities.

The Nextel i930 was released as a flip phone, boasting a sleek design that appealed to style-conscious consumers. One of its standout features was the integrated PTT functionality, allowing users to connect instantly with others on their network. This feature was particularly popular among business users who valued quick communication over traditional voice calls. The i930 supported a wide range of Nextel services, including Direct Connect, which enabled users to reach others with just a push of a button, making it an invaluable tool for teams on the move.

On the other hand, the Nextel i920 catered to a similar demographic but in a slightly different form factor. This model featured a candy-bar design, providing a more compact option for those who preferred a straightforward layout. Both devices were equipped with a robust set of features, including a color display, camera capabilities, and various multimedia functions. The i920 also supported messaging services, allowing users to send and receive text messages, thus enhancing its versatility.

In terms of technology, both phones operated on the iDEN network, known for its reliability and extensive coverage at the time. The iDEN technology blended digital voice and data, allowing for seamless communication and efficient use of bandwidth. Users could enjoy enhanced voice clarity and an unparalleled connection quality, making it a preferred choice for those in remote areas.

Battery life was another critical characteristic of both models. The i930 and i920 were designed to provide long-lasting power, enabling users to stay connected throughout their busy days without frequent recharging. Additionally, these devices featured rugged designs suitable for various work environments, aligning with Nextel's image as a provider for professionals in demanding fields.

In summary, the Nextel i930 and i920 encapsulated the essence of Nextel's commitment to blending functionality with style. Their PTT capabilities revolutionized communication methods for many, while their durable designs and robust feature sets solidified their status as essential tools for professionals. Even today, these devices serve as reminders of a time when instantaneous communication was becoming increasingly vital in both personal and professional spheres.
