Hey guys, im trying to add music to my Torch on my 8gb card.
My problem is, when i go to add music, even if i add it to the /Music folder, or the /Music/Media Sync folder, it syncs over 12000 of my songs (which i didnt choose, and doesnt fit on an 8gb card), and it greys them out and gives the usual error (click to be synced on next connect).
Im trying to add JUST a select set of songs.
I made a windows media player playlist and trying BB Media Sync, and it does it, i manual copied it to the BB folders /music and /music/media sync.
Is there a guide, or anything i can step by step? maybe im missing something?
Thats what im saying papped. I tried to manual copy them to the device, and SOMEHOW, it magically pulls in ALL the names of my other songs on my PC and plops them on there, all gray'ed out.
Never used sync, cause as someone posted "sync basically means you want ot keep 2 devices in the same state". Which basically means if you have music on your laptop and you "sync" with your phone it will try to add all the media in the folder on your laptop. \
Leave Dm closed
Simply plug in the phone to your pc
Open the SD card via PC
Drag and drop what I want on my SD card.
I use this method for nearly everything on my BB, exceptions of course are things that have to be installed(COD files).

Perhaps before plugging in your phone to the pc, just make another folder with the media you want on the phone. Then drag and drop what you want on the device into that folder, then drag and drop onto the phone from that folder. I would think that method would stop the sync issue.
Yes, you should be able to uncheck or disable a setting in DM so that it will not sync music or whatever. Also if DM is trying to sync every time you open it and that's part of your problem.
Ya when you want to just 'drag and drop' then essentially you just plug it in and use it like a jump drive.
Or, you can continue to do what you're doing, and while you are in 'Music' press the BB menu button and select 'Hide Home Music'. That way you can only see what you've got loaded onto the phone.
With your bb plugged in open DM and click the device tab and click device options. On the general tab under where it says sync uncheck media files if you don't want it to try and sync your music.

CB never ceases to amaze me with their answers.
