Some Useful Windows Media Player Mobile Tips
- Do not use the "Update Library" function in Windows Media Player on your Windows Mobile Device. This will add all sorts of audio files and sound effects to your media library from both your main device and storage card. If you have a GPS navigation program that uses WAV files, you'll see what a mess this becomes.
- By letting Windows Media Player convert files to WMA/WMV, you know that the Mobile Media Player will be able to handle the file formats. This way there's no guessing involved as to whether your MP3's bitrate encoding is going to play.
- Mobile Windows Media Player, when launched, defaults to showing the "My Device" library. You probably want it to open the "Storage Card" library by default. You can remove the "My Device" library listing option completely by deleting the following file: "Mobile Device\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb." This way, only the files in your Storage Card library will show up in Windows Media Player Mobile.
- If you notice a significant slow-down or persistent memory leaks when using Windows Media Player Mobile, you may have a corrupt library. On the storage card, delete the following file "\Storage Card\MSMETADATA\XMEMediaLibrary.mlb". You may have to tap & hold in the File Manager window on a blank area and choose "Show All Files" in order to see this folder. Once you delete that file, you will have to set up the sync again in Windows Media Player 11 on the desktop using the steps listed above.
- Your storage card's partnership identification information is stored in the hidden "WMPInfo.xml" file in the storage card's root directory. If you want to start over in creating a new library and sync partnership, you can delete that file.
- The following folder contains the digital rights management information for your storage card: "\Storage Card\WMDRM." If you have problems playing protected content, you may want to delete the contents of that folder and re-sync.
- If Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize your device while connected, open the Windows Task Manager (Right click task bar and choose Task Manager). Then look at the processes tab for two wmplayer.exe processes. End both of these tasks and relaunch Windows Media Player 11.
