Music Synchronization for N80 with Windows Media Player

Are you bored too with the Music Manager bundled with PC Suite?
I love to listen my MP3 while on the go, but it takes a lot of time to choose what music to take with you with that plain list with all your music …

So I started to look for a way to sync my Windows Media Player, with my already created play lists, and the first thing I noticed was the support for UPnP from my N80 and windows media player …
The problem was: I could not manage it to work, if any one of you can do it, please tell me how :D
Second, connect as “Media Player” using the USB Data Cable, but there is a problem with my windows or some thing like that, that makes it keep trying to install the driver over and over again …

One more option discarded …

But I did not give it up …

In the third try, I connected my N80 with the USB Data Cable and selected the “data transfer” option, and it appeared in the Windows Explorer as a Removable Drive, and lucky me, Windows Media Player can sync music with any removable drive you connect on your PC …
and you do not need any setup for that, just connect the N80 in the data transfer mode and start moving your music to your N80 …

Look at the screenshot from my N80 Synchronizing with my Windows Media Player …

The next step will be trying to Sync it with iTunes, that way I can carry my Podcasts with me too …

Talking about that, any one of you use any media player for Series 60 that has support for both audio and video, or at least has support for playlists?

Thanks for any tip on that …

    good post :D
    But I think there is some problem with my windows installation, I could not install the Multimedia driver, my windows just gets in an infinite loop, trying to install the driver …

    So I had to try this other option, conecting the N80 in data transfer mode …

    Yeah, I had the infinitely reloading driver problem too. I followed your advice and it works fine now. Thanks!

    (You think Nokia would sort this stuff out before they sold the phone gah)
