I just purchased a Audiovox SMT5600 with Cingular Service. It is running
WIndows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.
I have XP Home Service Pack 2 with WMP10 installed.
I am able to synch my Outlook contacts/calendar/memos via the Active Synch
software.
I am UNABLE to synch music/playlists for WMP10.
When I connect the device via the USB cable, the "setup synch" option on the
WMP10 is not available for clicking it is grayed out.
How do I configure WMP10 to do auto-synch with SMT5600????
I called Cingular and they sent me to Audiovox. I called audiovox (or
really ITstarcom) and they sent me to microsoft. I called microsoft and
they told me to go away unless I paid $35 for the priviledge of asking them
for support on something I just purchased.
thx,
Todd (via my wifes email -> setting up phone for her!)
