About the screens and menus
Windows Media® Player Mobile has three primary screens:
Playback screen. The screen that displays the playback controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous, 
and Volume) and the video window. You can change the appearance of this screen by choosing a 
different skin.
Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing playlist. This special playlist indicates the 
current file being played and any files that are “queued up” to play next.
Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your audio files, video files, and playlists. It contains 
categories such as My Music, My Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a 
Menu. The commands on this menu vary, depending on which 
screen you are viewing. For more information about the commands in these menus, see Help on your device.
Synchronize video and audio files
Use the latest version of Windows Media® Player on your computer to synchronize digital media files from 
your computer to your device. This ensures that protected files and album art (for skins) are copied to your 
device correctly.
To synchronize content to your device automatically
1. On your computer, open Windows Media® Player, then connect your device to your computer.
2. In the Device Setup Wizard, select 
Yes, search my computer now.
Note If you have previously opened Windows Media® Player and searched for media on your computer, you  
will not be prompted to search your computer in Step 2.
3. On the Device Setup dialog box, enter a name for your device and click Finish. Windows Media starts 
synchronizing the music files in the PC with the device.
4. Click 
Stop Sync and then on the left panel of Windows Media® Player, right-click the name of your 
device and click Set Up Sync.
5. Select the playlist(s) that you want to sync between your computer and device, then click 
Add.
Note On the Device Setup dialog box, make sure that the Sync this device automatically check box is  
selected.
6. Click Finish.
The files will begin synchronizing to your device. The next time you connect your device to your computer 
while Windows Media® Player is running, synchronization will start automatically.
