If you also store content on removable storage cards, you will have additional libraries for
each of those cards. This includes storage cards such as Secure Digital (SD*),
MultiMedia Card (MMC), or CompactFlash (CF) cards.
* To purchase an SD card go to nextel.com/accessories or call 1-800-NEXTEL6.
On the Library screen, you can switch between the My Device library and any other
libraries that are available to your Smartphone.
When you turn on your Smartphone and open Windows Media Player, the program
automatically searches the internal storage location of your Smartphone for compatible
digital media files. If it finds any, they are added to the My Device library.
Similarly, when you insert a removable storage card* into your Smartphone, Windows
Media Player asks you if you want to search it for content. If you agree, Windows Media
Player adds any content it finds to a Mounted Volume library.
If you copy new files to your Smartphone or storage card* and they do not appear in the
library, you can manually update the library by using the Update Library command.

About Synchronization

Use the Sync feature in the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player
10 or later) to automatically copy your favorite audio files, video files, and playlists from
your desktop Player library to your Smartphone Player library every time you connect
your Smartphone to your computer.
For more information about synchronization, see the desktop Player Help.
About Playlists
A playlist is a list of digital media files that play in a specified order. By using playlists,
you can group audio and video files together for convenient playback.
For example, in the desktop Player, you can create a playlist of upbeat songs to listen to
when you exercise or a playlist of soothing songs to enjoy during a long flight. When you
synchronize with the latest desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or later), your
favorite playlists are automatically copied to your Smartphone.
You can also create a temporary playlist, called Now Playing, directly on your
Smartphone. It is available from the Now Playing menu. It lists the currently playing file,
as well as any files that have been "queued up" to play next. The contents of the Now
Playing list are not saved on your Smartphone when you power it off.
About Licenses and Protected Files
Some digital media files (such as songs downloaded from online stores, including
Napster and MusicNow) are encrypted to prevent the files from being unlawfully
distributed or shared.
Content providers, such as online stores, use a technology called digital rights
management (DRM) to encrypt the files. During the encryption process, the content
provider creates a license which specifies how and when the file can be used.
For example, a content provider could create a license that allows you to play a certain
file on your computer, but not on your Smartphone. Or a content provider could create a
license that allows you to play a certain file on your Smartphone, but only for a month.
Files that have licenses associated with them are called protected files.
