My Mp3 player - a question
by astronut @ Thursday, Apr. 03, 2008 - 09:23:33 am

Hi there,

I got my MP3 player the other day, it's a Sony and its a wonderful piece of kit; it also plays video and shows photographs, although the screen is not really big enough to watch a film, although it would be ok to watch short clips. I am having great fun putting my CD's onto it, and I will have a go at downloading some tracks from the internet.

Just one question: I know I might find the answer to this on the Sony site somewhere, but I'm lazy at the moment, so I thought I would ask my friends:

I am using Windows Media Player to transfer music to the Walkman, and there is a drag and drop system. However when I drag and drop a particular album into the 'synchronise' box and then click on 'synchronise', the Walkman then proceeds to download all the other albums on my computer, plus all the photos. I don't what this to happen, I only want to transfer the albums I want to, and nothing else. Any comments?

ps have tried altering the synchronising settings but it won't let me.

I don't use Windows Media Player; I just use Windows Explorer, opening the MP3 player in the "My Computer" section (as a removable drive). Then I drag and drop from my music folder to the MP3 player, just like copying from one folder to another.

Thanks for your answer. It is probably the right thing to do, although I have now discovered how to switch off automatic synchronisation in Windows Media Player. I did not realise that the WMP had imported my whole collection of photos into it's library, that is why they kept downloading onto my Walkman when I didn't want them to. Now I have found out how to use the Play lists in WMP, so that I can now fully control what it downloads. I'm a control freak you see!

Hope you are well.
