Set up a device to sync in Windows Media Player

You can use Windows Media Player to copy music, videos, and photos from your Player Library to a portable device, such as a compatible MP3 player. This is called synchronizing, or syncing.

There are two ways to sync items to a device: one is automatic, and the other is manual. When you connect a device to your PC for the first time, Windows Media Player selects the sync method that works best for your device, depending on the device's storage capacity and the size of your Player Library. After your device is set up the first time, you can choose a different sync method if you want.

Automatic sync

If your device's storage capacity is more than 4 gigabytes (GB), and your entire Player Library can fit on the device, Windows Media Player will use automatic sync. If you keep this option, your entire Player Library will be copied to your device.

Every time you connect your device to your PC while Windows Media Player is running, the Player automatically updates the contents of the device to mirror the contents of the Player Library.

For example, if you rip a CD to your Player Library, that album will automatically be copied to your device the next time you connect it to your PC. Likewise, if you delete items from your Player Library, those items will also be deleted from your device the next time you connect it to your PC.

Even if your device is set up to sync automatically, you can still control which items are automatically synced.

Manual sync

If the storage capacity of your device is less than 4 gigabytes (GB), or if your entire Player Library can't fit on the device, Windows Media Player will use manual sync. If you keep this option, you'll have to perform several steps every time you want to add or remove items from the device.

To set up your device

These are the steps to set up your device:

  1. Turn on your device, and then connect it to your PC.

  2. Open Windows Media Player:

    1. Trượt nhanh vào từ cạnh phải của màn hình, rồi gõ nhẹ Tìm kiếm.
      (Nếu bạn đang dùng chuột, trỏ chuột đến góc phải trên của màn hình, chuyển con trỏ chuột xuống rồi bấm Tìm kiếm.)

    2. Enter Windows Media Player in the search box, change the search filter to Apps, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.

    If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, tap or click the Switch to Library button Switch to Library button in the upper-right corner of the Player.

  3. Then, do one of the following:

    • If the Player is set to automatically sync your device, tap or click Finish. When you do this, the Player will sync your entire Player Library to your device. After that, your device will automatically sync every time you connect it to your PC while Windows Media Player is running.

      If you want to sync only a portion of your Player Library, you can choose which media will automatically sync.

    • If the Player is set to sync your device manually, click Finish. Then, on the Sync tab, select the files and playlists you want to sync manually.

To choose what files sync automatically

Even if your device syncs automatically, you don't have to sync your entire Player Library. Instead, you can choose from existing playlists or create new playlists of files that you want to sync. The playlists you select will sync to your device every time you connect it to your PC while Windows Media Player is running. Here's how to choose the files that will sync:

  1. Turn on your device and connect it to your PC.

  2. Open Windows Media Player:

    1. Trượt nhanh vào từ cạnh phải của màn hình, rồi gõ nhẹ Tìm kiếm.
      (Nếu bạn đang dùng chuột, trỏ chuột đến góc phải trên của màn hình, chuyển con trỏ chuột xuống rồi bấm Tìm kiếm.)

    2. Enter Windows Media Player in the search box, change the search filter to Apps, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.

    If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, tap or click the Switch to Library button Switch to Library button in the upper-right corner of the Player.
  3. In the Player Library, tap or click the Sync tab, tap or click the Sync options button Sync options button, and then tap or click Set up sync to open the Device Setup dialog box.

  4. In the Available playlists list, select the existing playlists you want to sync, and then tap or click Add.

    To create a playlist, tap or click New Auto Playlist and follow the steps to choose what kind of files should be included in the auto playlist.

    To remove a playlist, tap or click the playlist in the Playlists to sync list, and then tap or click Remove.

  5. Do one of the following:

    • If you have a device with limited capacity, and you want to increase the chances that particular playlists will always get synced to your device, select your playlists one at a time in the Playlists to sync list, and then tap or click the Priority arrows to arrange them in the order you want them to sync. If your device fills up before the sync is complete, files and playlists that are lower down in the list might not sync.

    • If you have a device with limited storage capacity, if you like to rotate through your music, or if your Player Library has grown too large to fit on your device, you might want to sync a different set of items to your device every time you connect it to your PC. Just select the Shuffle what syncs check box, and every time you connect your device, the files on the device will be removed and a new set of files (from the playlists in the Playlists to sync list) is added.

  6. Tap or click Finish.

To switch between automatic and manual sync
