Hi - I'm trying to download music from my PC to MP3 using "sync" on the new version 11 of the Windows media player. Music is downloading but my MP3 player doesn't seem to be able to see it, and therefore i can't identify it (I know this because each time I download an album, it uses up space on the MP3).
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for this. However, the new version of Windows media player (v.11.0.5721.5145) does not give you the drive letter with the musical note as an icon next to it as far as i can see. So the tracks are downloading, but my mp3 player can't see them (or therefore play them). Has anyone else had this difficulty?
When you plug the MP3 player into the computer, does it show up as a drive letter in windows? If you want, you could just copy music using windows, rather than through Media Player.
Yes - it shows as drive G. Using Windows, I deleted all tracks to start again. then copied using windows explorer. It seems to have put all the albums into a folder called "/Music", but the MP3 player won't display any of them, so i wondered if they should be put in a different folder than "/Music"?
Thanks for your perseverence with this problem :-)

Try moving all the files from within "/Music" to just the "G" drive, so the mp3s aren't in any folders at all.
You're welcome
Yep tried that and now each album has its own folder and placed in the G drive, not in any folder, "/Music" or otherwise... but unfortunately this hasn't worked either. Interestingly, when I look at the folders with Windows media player, they all seem still to be lying in a folder called "/Music", although when I look at them with windows explorer they are not in "/Music", just in the G drive ! ! ! I can't understand this, as there are no albums in the "/Music" folder in the G drive when i look using windows explorer
so I'm a bit perplexed. Has anyone tried to use Logik MP3 player with the new Windows media player and had any luck?
Thanks all...
Matt
instead of putting them into individual folders how about just leaving all the music files at the root directory?
No Luck I'm afraid but thanks for the idea. I've now deleted all music folders using Windows Explorer, and copied individual tracks into the G Drive. However the MP3 player still displays the original Album titles! It then runs through each individual track title from each album (about 500 tracks!) and then says each is empty. It hasn't spotted any of the individual tracks I copied into the G Drive.
Can anyone help? Its completely mystifying.
Thanks.
I have seen the same problem and the reason is that WMP11 doesn't want to play with the Logik's driver (I got an error message saying the driver was too old and WMP is not compatible with it) - hence no musical note icon for the player. This means WMP11 just copies the files to the Music directory and doesn't rebuild the player's database. You can still find the files on your player by using it's explorer method rather than it's database of artists, albums, genres, etc.
I searched the web but couldn't find an updated driver to fix this.
I got round it by using Windows Exploiter to copy the files to the player's MYMUSIC\K2 directory and then using AudioPhile (the app shipped with the player) to rebuild the database.
I got fed up with that nonsense so I revved back to WMP10!
Hope this helps.
