Question [Q] Default location of media

I have a folder called music on my sdcard, and another one called video. When I run the media room app, it doesn't pick up that I have any music or videos.

Is there a specific folder these are supposed to go in to so that the media room picks them up?

I don't know about where to put them, but if you run doubletwist.. which is compatible and comes with the default SD card, or download it. You can have it sync a playlist for you. Then where it puts the music you could organize your self? Not a perfect solution, but would get the same result.

doubletwist sucks. Try isync. I tried doubletwist on my Evo and it doesn't allow me to just download the music (it downloads every stinking file that's sound or video on my computer) like I was able to do while syncing my ipod through itunes (that's what we're looking for, something that syncs the same way itunes does). I haven't tried isync yet, but I hear it's more like we mac/ipod owners are used to.

yeah... I'm not a big fan of doubletwist.

It's funny that the Gallery 3D picks up all the media wherever I put it, but the media room app doesn't. The only one it was able to find was a pic I put in the download folder.

I agree double twist sucks.

WMP (windows media player) also recognizes it as a valid sync device.

/sdcard/Music/ARTIST/Album..... etc

Hope that helps.


You can also set up Winamp wireless sync by checking out the newest version of winamp, but that is temperamental at best.
