Play media

To play media on your phone
Use the library to find and play songs, videos, and playlists that are stored
on your phone or removable storage card.
1. If you are not on the Library screen, click Menu > Library.
2. If necessary, on the Library screen, click Menu > Library, and then
select the library that you want to use (for example, Storage Card).
3.
In most cases, Windows Media Player Mobile automatically updates
the library. However, you can manually update the library to ensure
that it contains new files that you recently copied to your phone or
storage card. Tap Menu > Update Library to manually update the
library list.
4. Select a category (for example, My Music or My Playlists), select the
item that you want to play (such as a song, album, or artist name), and
then click Play.
Note
Audio files copy faster if the desktop Player is configured to automatically
set the quality level for audio files copied to your phone. For more
information, see the desktop Player Help.
The desktop version of Windows Media Player 10 is only available for
computers running Windows XP. If you are not running Windows XP on your
PC, use the Copy to CD or Device feature of Windows Media Player 9 Series
to copy your audio files and video files to your phone.
The desktop version of Windows Media Player 9 Series is not as full-
featured as the desktop version of Windows Media Player 10. For example,
the desktop version of Windows Media Player 9 Series does not support
automatic synchronization, synchronization of playlists, synchronization of
album art, or synchronization of TV shows recorded by computers running
Windows XP Media Center Edition.
For more information about the Copy to CD or Device feature, start the
desktop version of Windows Media Player 9 Series, and then press F1.
To play a file that is stored on your phone but is not in a library, on the Library
screen, click Menu > Open File. Select the item that you want to play (such
as a file or a folder), and click Play.
