Default [Q] Windows Media & Thunderbolt?

Hey all. First time poster, first droid ever (rooted Thunderbolt). Just a question about syncing music and videos with windows media.

I just happened to see my thunderbolt show up in Windows Media Player when I changed my USB connection type to "Disk Drive" so I tried syncing some music to it.

First off it shows up as having only 1GB of space free even though there's an icon in the upper-right corner of WMP that says 29.7 GB. Is there a reason why this is so? In explorer, the SD card comes up as 29-ish GB free.

Also, is this the actual way to go to sync media to my droid or should I be using something else? (I haven't installed that verizon app).

And another thing... shouldn't my Thunderbolt show up when I choose Media Sync as my connection type?

I just plug in my device, put it in disk mount mode, and just drag and drop to a folder I created (Called Music) the phone searches your entire SD card for music and I have no problems, adding, deleting, or playing any of my music.

Just an update... I've been using Winamp to sync my music with my phone and while the wireless sync doesn't work consistently, it works plugged in to usb and... Well it's Winamp. Chalk one up for nostalgia.

I use DoubleTwist to sync music to my TBolt. You can even get an app to sync it wirelessly.

The WiFi sync works for me, it's just rather slow so I only do it if I've added like... one album...

But yeah dude, winamp for life!
