Windows Media Player sync with Treo 700

[drjdan]

My wife has a Samsung a950 Verizon Wireless phone. I connect the phone to computer with USB cable and Windows Media Player sees it as a mobile device and allows me to sync music that I select which sends it to the phone. I connect my Treo 700 with Bluetooth and use Active Sync. It sync's just fine and I have access to the Treo and the Treo storage card using Windows Exployer. But Windows Media Player does not see the attached Treo as a mobile device.

Can you use Windows Media Player to sync your music with Treo or do have do manual move with Windows Explorer? Windows Media Player sayes it will see a new device and create a partnership. Can you have a partnership with Active Sync and Windows Media Player at same time?

I don't know... But, did you try it with the USB cable?

Yes, I use WMP to sync music and it works very well. However, my understanding is that it will only do so via usb, not bluetooth.

I had problems setting up my 700W with WMP 10 too. FIrst, you do need Windows Media Player 10, I don't think it will sync with earlier versions. Beyond that, I had to reinstall both Active Sync 4.1 AND WMP 10. I needed to do this twice before it would work. Now it's doing just fine.

Oh yes, the other problem I had was, I think, with Itunes. For some reason, even with the re installs the Treo 700w wouldn't recognize music transferred to my PC with I tunes. But,the same music coming in from WMP 10 transfers fine. It may have something to do with digital rights management, not sure...

Good luck.
