Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile Coming Soon

[adamz]

According to Paul Thurrott's SuperSite (http://www.winsupersite.com/), Windows Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile is scheduled to be released in October... perhaps in conjunction with Windows XP Media Center 2005, Media Center Extenders, and Windows Media Connect. I hope the Media Player 10 will allow syncronization. Currently with Media Player 10 on the desktop, you cannot set up a Pocket PC for syncronization... however, if you take the media card out of the Pocket PC and put it in a Media Card reader, you CAN set that up for syncronization!

Hi-
i'm unsure as to what you mean by synchronize with Media Player 10 and a Pocket PC. I've got the HP H6315 and Windows media 10- i have no problems sending music and videos over to my phone's memory card thru media player 10.

I've even purchased music from the new MSN music store, downloaded it into media player, and then sync'd it thru the desktop cradle to my pocket pc- storing it on the memory card. plays perfectly!

Oh yeah... you can manually transfer audio files with Media Player 10 no problem, but you can't set up an automatic syncronization with a memory card that's in your Pocket PC which is connected through Activesync.
If you take the memory card out and put it in a memory card reader, you can set up Media Player 10 to automatically copy music to that card whenever the card is available. So for example, you could have your autoplaylists (Fresh Tracks, Favorites, etc.) update themselves on your portable device all the time without having to initiate a transfer yourself.
If you have an auto-syncing portable device it will show up in the left pane of the Library as well. In other words, it's not able to create an auto-syncing partnership with Pocket PCs at this time.
