Why Media Player 10? Why does this player require Media Player 10?

There are drivers in the media Player software to load/ access music in "MTP mode". Really if you want to use MSC mode, the player acts like a flash drive or external harddrive- you can load music WITHOUT Windows Media Player.

I don't use the WD TV Play Media Player to stream video online. I use it to play video files I have stored on my WD TV Live Media Hub which is located in another room of my house. For that purpose it works great.

Your music player probably only recognizes audio-only formats like MP3. So you can't just copy video files over and have it read them. But you can extract the audio portion and save it on the sd card, and then your player should be able to handle it. There are a bunch of ways to do this - probably the simplest is to use a third-party app like Video Converter for Mac. But you can do it directly with something like iMovie - import the video, then export only the sound portion to another file.

For Multimedia I added the following, because the player that comes with 08 leaves somewhat to be desired:1 - UKMPlayer (UKMP)2 - Kagu Media Player3 - MPlayer (required for other players to play video)4 - MediaBox Media Center5 - Maemo Music Player Client (for streaming audio)6 - Video Center - for viewing and storing streaming video7 - Quiver Image ViewerAll those players because some play filetypes others do not.For PIM I added:1 - GPE Suite (contacts, to-do list, calendar, etc)Utilities1 - Password SafeA/V Capture1 - Maemo Recorder2 - CameraThat's it, so far.

Windows Media Player plays .mov, you probably just need to download the most recent version. It's Apple Quicktime format fyi.

Not true! You can d/l firmware updates onto your computer and transfer to a USB stick and pop it into your player. Done!

Install Windows Media Player 11. I have this installed in my PC, and it works great.

I tried an mp4 this morning to test it for you and it said unrecognized. The menu options seem to indicate pictures and music only.

Don't know, don't think so. And DON'T waste your money on this piece of garbage. Read the reviews. This is the worst excuse for a media player I have ever owned.

Yes it does, but I would not buy this player. It's a real rip-off & a total joke compared to other similarly priced media players.

I am not going to use a 3rd party player. If something doesn't play in WMP by default, I don't want it.In 20 years from now I am not going to go searching for some weird player / codec.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

I have very positive experiences from using GOM player in playing many different media formats. It automatically find codecs and everything. Perhaps you should give it a try for the new AVCHD format also.

The manual says that you can synchronize playlists created with Windows Media Player 10/11 but I have never tried this. Another option is to create a folder for each playlist as the iAudio 9+ has the ability to play only from a folder. I would download the user manual before buying it to make sure the player will do what you need it to do.

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

Thanks for your response, but I do not understand what MSC or MTP modes are or how to access them. :( Do I open windows media player and then plug in my sansa? Is there a step by step instruction anywhere for people who are totally computer and mp3 illiterate?
