JAMin and WMP10 settings

[Way2go]

Hi,

Quick question which isn't the end of the world but I find confusing.

For the past 4 months (since getting my JAMin) whenever I started up WMP10 it went to the 'Library' screen, and I selected 'My Playlists' - it would then automatically list all the playlists I have on my SD card. (I only ever load music onto the SD card, not onto the device itself).

Somehow, just in the last few days, this has changed so it defaults to the 'My Device' lists - of which there are none (never have been).

I simply find this annoying as it now means I have to go through 2 more steps every time I open WMP10 to reset it to look at the SD card for the playlists instead. The device then doesn't remember this as the default the next time I open WMP10.

Does anyone know how I can get it back to functioning as it was previously? I checked the sync settings on the PC version of WMP10 that I use to load the music/playlists, and it's set up for the SD card.......

Wild guess.... Maybe your card is getting old and gets disconnected once in while? (If you extract the card WMP defaults to internal memory...)

Not sure if that would be the reason.

The minute I click 'playlists' and the nclick on 'Storage Card' instead of 'My Device' it picks up the card, so it's registering at the time. I'd have thought even if it had accidentally disconnected at some point, the fact that it is 'visible' when I want to select a playlist would have suggested that WMP10 should also be picking it up.

Unless I'm missing something......

(Also, the card isn't that old, and isn't removed and reinserted very often - actually it's hardly touched - so it shouldn't be wearing out the contacts or anything).

Did you install any task manager program recently? Like SPB Pocket Plus Close Button or anyting like that?

By default WMP10's library points to My Device and not the Storage Card. When you tap the X button in standard WM5 you're only minimising WMP10 so when you open it up again it remembers your setting.

On the other hand, if you close WMP10 competely (by one of these task managers or the standard End Program), on loading it, it will point back to My Device as it is programmed to do by default.

1. Delete all media files you can find in the 'my device' library from the library and from the device. You can do this from within WMP.

2. Go to /Application Data/Microsoft/ and delete the Media Player directory.

3. Update the library

4. Never sync while Windows Media Player is open (on your desktop). If you do, repeat step 2-3.

Dirty fix :-) This would not apply for everyone since some people (includign myself) transfer music to the Prophet through WMP desktop so I can get all the album art automatically.

Nope, I've been running SPB Pocket Plus since I got the device, and it's always opened WMP10 pointing at the storage card (despite the device being the default as you say).

Basically, the only things I've loaded on the JAMin are SPB Pocket Plus, Superdoku, TomTom 6 and OziExplorer CE.

Get an SD card reader and sync your music through that - it's much, much faster.

Way2Go - I have SPB pocket plus too - and it's never done that for me.
