I have a new smartphone running Windows Mobile 5.0 that gets detected by MC when it's plugged in. Great. I actually figured out how to get it to sync files with it and it works fine with a few problems.
Since the phone has Media Player I figured I would just convert the songs I wanted to low rate WMA files. Not wanting to mix these files in with my normal library and folders, I created a separate location and new library to reflect those. I don't want to convert on the fly since it would take longer.
I usually use a coverart folder but will soon be changing to next to file with artist - song. Media Player will show the cover art if it is folder.jpg so no problem again, I just put all existing cover art as folder.jpg's in the new WMA file locations.
Now the main problem. In order to use the new library effectively, I had to change the Options-File Location - Location Rule to next to file (folder.jpg) and the Base path to the new WMA file location.
After I was done, I switched back to my main library and kind of was hoping that those options were saved per library but alas, they weren't. So anytime I want to use my handheld, I have to change those 2 options and remember to change it back again.
Like I said, I'm new to this handheld stuff, so perhaps there's an easier way to do all this?
