6.7 Synchronizing Music and Video
If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, set up Windows Media®
Player on your computer to synchronize music and video with your device.
Other than selecting the Media information type 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 11 on your computer. (Windows Media® Player 11 works only in
Windows XP or later versions).
Connect your device to the computer with a USB cable. If your device is currently connected using
Bluetooth, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Set up a sync partnership between your device and your computer’s Windows Media® Player.
See “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 12 for details.
