Squeezebox with Windows Media Player? Does anyone use the Duet and have their music organized with WIndows Media Player?

Not very well, so far. It has failed to include my playlists which hold several hundred tunes each. It would take days to manually rebuild them on the Squeezecenter software. if anyone knows how to remedy this i would be gartefull for the info.

WalkmanMPT worked just perfectly on my NWZ-E344 to satisfactorily create playlists, agree with Boldwyn amazing that new Sony's software not even imports playlists! I struggled over 2 hours to figure how to successfully sync the playlists using Windows Media Player 11 with the device... whenever I sync'd the device in, it just only copied the files and didn't create anything but folders not playlists, that's was exactly what I didn't want. Thank you all.

You have three options: 1. Connect to the squeezebox server that runs on your PC to have access to internet content (Slacker, Rhapsody, Pandora etc.) and your own music file (such as iTunes libraries). This requires that your PC be on and running the squeezebox server service. 2. Establish a free account on squeezebox.com and have access to internet content (Slacker, Rhapsody, Pandora etc.) but not your own music files. Your computer doesn't need to be running but you need to be connected to the internet via wired or wireless. 3. The Touch also has the ability to play local media by using a USB drive or SD card plugged into the unit itself.

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.

How do you exactly copy the playlist over? I have WMP11. Tried using Sync, songs got transfered but not playlist. Then I tried copying the playlist file .wpl manually on to the device, and it still doesn't recognize the playlist. Not sure what I am doing wrong?------------Never mind. I figured it out - I was in MSC mode. Switched to MTP mode and everything works.

It's better! Best addition I've found so far is Tune-In is embedded and works very well. Much, much better navigation and user experience than the GraceNote radio (which makes me crazy, it's so, so, so poor!) I just really hope the hardware is solid - this is my 2nd Squeezebox. Last one became ejunk.

I have not had success using this pedal with Windows Media Player so far. It does work with Quicktime however.

Good Evening,I am using Audioshell 1.3.5 that I downloaded from www.softpointer.comI picked up this site from the either the I phone or G phone forums.I guess those platforms have the same type of issue with Windows Media Player. As I mentioned in my previous post the software, once downloaded works in the background with explorer. By pointing the mouse at the album, you get title, artist, album, year, track number, genre, cover art (yes or no), duration, bit rate, encoder and file size. Then when you right click on properties, you get four tabs, general, audio shell info, audio shell tag editor, and summary.Let me know if you need anymore help.Regards,Danbo Good Evening,I am using Audioshell 1.3.5 that I downloaded from www.softpointer.comI picked up this site from the either the I phone or G phone forums.I guess those platforms have the same type of issue with Windows Media Player.

Sorry, my computer is a windows platform. Also, my Soundbridge gave out 3 or 4 years ago. After that we got 2 Logitech Internet radios (1 Squeezebox & 1 SmartRadio) and we love them!

Yeah it sorts your music alphabetically. You can use windows media player to organize, drag and drop into the player.

First off, how do you sync playlists to WMP? I have WMP 11 on Win7 btw. Secondly how can I reorder playlists on the clouddrive by artist name, song name, album name etc? Where can we request this feature if its not available yet?

You can buy a $45 Rasperry PI a soundcard and the Squeezeplay software and achieve the same result. There are numerous online websites that show how to do this. Equally you can put the Squeezeplay client on anything that runs Windows XP or Windows 7. The advantage this had was it had its own display a decent Digital Audio chip and a touch screen.

I don't know. I put everything on my windows media player and copy it from there.

I have had no problem creating a playlist in windows media player 11 and copying it to the Sansa player from Windows Media player. That is the only way I found to get a playlist. You can't create it from the Sansa player
