In this documentation, the version of Windows Media Player for Windows-based desktop or
laptop computers is called the "desktop Player" and the version for Smartphone is called the
"Smartphone Player."
Synchronizing Media Files
Use the Sync feature in the desktop version of Windows Media Player 10 to synchronize
digital media files to your Smartphone (instead of dragging a file from a folder on your
desktop computer to a folder on your Smartphone, for example). This copies your favorite
audio files, video files, and playlists from your desktop Player library to your Smartphone
Player library and ensures that licenses are copied with protected files. For information about
the Sync feature, start the desktop version of Windows Media Player 10, and then press F1.
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 desktop computer, use the Copy to
CD or Device feature of Windows Media Player 9 Series to copy your audio files and video
files to your device. Note that 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.

Audio files copy faster if the desktop Player is configured to automatically set the quality level for
audio files copied to your Smartphone. For more information, see the desktop Player Help.
