Hello, I just recently got my Fuze and I really like it.
It was originally in Auto mode and I was using WMP 11 to transfer songs and playlists to it. It was working well, except that I discovered that WMP was transferring a bunch of duplicate songs (4 or 5 copies sometimes). I read on the forums that if you put the Fuze in MSC mode that will eliminate the duplicate songs issue with WMP. So I formatted my SD card, put the Fuze in MSC mode and used WMP to sync over a bunch of songs.
It worked great and there were no duplicates. However, today I plugged in my Fuze and WMP won’t detect it. I’ve tried rebooting my PC (It’s Vista Home premium 64bit, btw) and I tried updating the firmware on the Fuze to the latest. But still WMP won’t detect the device, although I can see it in Windows Explorer.
Now I really have two issues. The reason I was trying to use WMP was because all my playlists are in WMP and of course I lost the ability to sync them when I switched to MSC mode. I had found some work arounds for on this forum and I was going to try them when I discovered that WMP isn’t detecting the device anymore.
I would be happy to switch to another app, if I could import my playlists and it wouldn’t create duplicate songs on the device. Does anyone know the best way to go about achieving these two things?
One more question. I read somewhere that MTP mode eliminates the “refreshing music” that happens every time I unplug my Fuze. However, when it was in Auto mode (and being seen as a portable device by Windows and WMP) I still got the long “refreshing music” screen when unplugging the device. Is that normal?
