Title: Windows Phone 7
Post by: LtTawnyMadison on January 21, 2012, 02:31:44 pm: I've been using MC for about 6 years. I just got a Samsung Focus S, and I know I can't use MC with it (I still use MC for my Creative Zen), but I was wondering if you could advise me on the best way to get my library from MC to Zune and from there to my phone? Thanks!

Go to Settings --> Collection
I just have my whole library in Zune and I go through manually and select what I want to sync to my phone.
Hope that helps

Post by: LtTawnyMadison on February 21, 2012, 08:16:12 pm: OK here's what works: Export all playlists from MC. Point Zune to the folder where the playlists (m3u's) are stored. Zune automatically converts them to Zune playlists. Yay!! ;D

Post by: goatherder on February 26, 2012, 07:48:53 pm: Um... since Zune dynamically watches folders (better than MC, in my experience) why not just point both to the same location? That's what I do. That way I can play my Zune subscriptions in MC too.

Post by: LtTawnyMadison on March 23, 2012, 03:53:51 pm: Zune is pointed to the same location as MC. I have way more music than will fit on my phone, though, so I wanted to have only the songs from certain playlists on my phone.

I use Zune to manage the Zune / WP7 as it's a hassle otherwise.
