Smartphone as Handheld Device?
« on: February 16, 2006, 05:24:09 pm »
I have a Smartphone (i-mate SP3i) running Windows Mobile 2003, on which I can listen to .mp3 or .wma files after transfering them through Windows Explorer which recognises it as a Mobile Device. 

Although I don't use the 'phone for music very much it would be good to be able to synch it through MC when I want to, but MC just doesn't seem to see it.  I seem to remember that when I last did a clean re-install of MC, I was asked if I wanted to recognise the phone as a handheld device, but at the time said no as I wanted the Music folder on the storage card as a device, not the phone itself.  Since then  - nothing.

Short of doing another clean install of MC, can anyone suggest how I can get MC to see my 'phone and it's storage card?  Or have I once again missed something completely obvious to everyone except me  :)

In MC11.1, under Handheld Options, choose Advanced, Redetect Devices.

But wouldn't I then lose all the settings for Music, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc. on my Archos GMini - "Redetect All Devices...(settings will be lost)"?

edit:  I only have one available USB port, so it's either...or.

The recommended approach is to redetect all.

If you really don't want to lose settings for a certain device, you can erase this registry key and restart MC:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Center 11\Properties\Handheld - Ignored Devices

Thanks Matt.  I just edited the Value Data rather than deleting the key, and that worked fine.
