When I transfer a file, I get an error "Transfer errors. (X files) <filename> transfer failed -2147024809".
What is the path of the file on the PC?
My Documents\My Music\Artist\Album\track# - title.wma
WMP10 creates its entries under a Music\ top-level folder; MC11 creates the files at the root of the device. Not sure if this is a bug, working as designed, or a configuration thing that I just haven't set properly
This can be modified easily. In order to do it, I need to know exactly how the device appears in the MC tree. Also, let me know if the device supports playlists and if so, if there is a specific directory where they must go to be recognized.
Under "Drives & Devices", I have three nodes: "DWex_Axim" (the name of my PocketPC), "Built-in Storage" (the built-in flash drive) and "SD Card" (for the SD card). I assume there would be a fourth if I had a memory card plugged into the CF slot, but I don't have one with me now.
When I browse the device in Windows Explorer, "Built-in Storage" and "SD Card" are directories under Mobile Device\My Pocket PC, not top-level nodes.
WMP10 syncs files into Music\Artist\Album\file on each device. Playlists go in Playlists\playlistname.asx
MC11 sees the files I've transfered to the device using WMP10, but does not read any tags - only the file name shows up
This is the information that Windows WMDM is returning. Does WMP show you all the info when you view the files on the device?
WMP10 shows only file names for both devices. Under Windows Explorer, browsing the Zen has all tag details, browsing the PocketPC shows files, but I think the PocketPC browser is doing different things. So this is probably "working as designed"
For both devices, enumerating files on the device takes a LONG time - I have ~700 files on my Zen Micro; from the time I connect it until I can interact with MC11 again is ~5 minutes at 60-80% CPU. The SD card in my PocketPC has only ~20 files on it and MC11 "goes away" for ~1-2 minutes when I first try to access it.
This should only happen the first time that MC accesses the device. MC then caches the info and retrieval should be quick in subsequent connections unless you have modified the files on the device.
Well, something is clearly in a very wedged-up state right now. Now when I select any of my devices (Axim, SD, built-in storage or zen micro) the list of files displayes is the list of files on the Axim. At the top, I have the correct device name, the number of files on the Axim, the correct remaining space, and then the Axim's list of files. I can drill down the tree under each device and see the right things, but the list for the device itself is showing the same list for all four devices.
I've exited & restarted MC11, disconnected and reconnected the devices, and done the "reset connected devices" thing in MC options (after which it redetected all four device and STILL displayed the same list of files for all four).
I'm not trying to be a pain - really I'm not...
