Motorola phones with iTunes

[jawtab]

OK HERE'S THE DEAL!

if no songs show up in itunes on your phone.

1. plugin phone
2. in MM safely right click and "safely remove device"
3. unplug phone
2. plugin phone and the windows autoscan should run and update the phone. ( a list of songs on the phone will also now appear in MM )
3. you don't need to "safely remove" the device again ( i believe the problem is here, so don't do it! or do it and notice everything is gone again...)
4. just unplug the phone and enjoy

pain in the butt. yes.


WHAT I'D LIKE TO SEE!

1. bypass usb interface necessary to update the database. I'd prefer to update it from my card reader, after of course the intial db is there or is copies there *easiest* - so we don't need itunes on the computer fighting for usage to to open contantly if it's still installed.)

OK, I've had great success with my Motorola V3i with iTunes. I get perfect syncing and album art on my phone.

However, I've also got an unbranded European SLVR which I can only get to sync without album art. I simply get a black box where the artwork should be. I know this was brought up by someone else, but this is different issue because this phone does NOT come with iTunes preinstalled.

Like I said, syncing with MM is perfect! But there must be some other issues regarding the file structure? iTunes version installed? I don't know

Would it be possible to have the creator of the iPOD.dll to make a SLVR version or blend it into the existing version?

What can I send to him?

Thanks!

So on that unbranded phone synching with iTunes works fine but not with MM? If so, please do what I've already described here several times, i.e. synchronize one track with album art with iTunes, send me synchronized files (with their locations), etc.

Thanks,
Jiri

I know I'm terrible at this...

It is NOT possible to sync this phone with desktop iTunes. iTunes simply does not recognize these phones as iPods (or any other device). But it syncs perfectly with MediaMonkey Just no artwork. I'm not certain if the artwork is not being read properly by iTunes on the phone, or if MediaMonkey has to do something different with these phones...

I DID IT! I just disabled the autoconversion feature, and voila! I have album art....

This feature is included as of 2.5.5.980 (until 2.5.5 is released, this can be found in the beta forum).

Finally album art on my v360. Thank's for the plugin. I'll post a few screenshots with the album art.

I wonder if I can get this to work on my RAZR V3i that doesn't have iTunes but has the Motorola Digital Player.

So far I can sync effortlessly but have had problems with bit rates above 128 (Fixed via the conversion setup) and no art.

From what I can see of giany911 screenshots my player is no different only doesn't have the dedicated iTunes "button"

DAP doesn't support album art as far as I know.

Can someone give me a low down on:

a) How to use MediaMonkey to transfer songs onto my iTunes on my SLVR L7 phone
b) How to get album art on it as well.

Thanks!

Hi giany911


Managed to get Album art to work on my V360V but no Picture on the startup screen.

Plus my Player Icons are way to the left, every thing else seems to be ok..

Any clues on how to fix this..?


I had lots of problems getting it to all work, problem was in the end my USB Cable, a Real Moto one.

Used the Sony one from my camera, works like a dream not.

MediaPlayer kept locking up when doing the Rebuild DB, plus even when trying to move files to a microSD card.

Mind you I thought it was my KINGSTON microSD card causing all these problems as Yuet warns people about this brand.

Thanks.
