Ok, I just installed WinMedia 10, Again.
I had the beta version on my computer a bit back but
uninstalled it as soon as i found that i could no longer
copy files to my Mp3 Drive!!!

So i reverted back to Windows Media 9, and waited till i
the "OFFICIAL" copy of WinMedia 10 Was Available.

After download this i found it not much better then the
beta version. the SYNC feature does not work for me AT
ALL.

I get few errors:

-Error Windows Media Player cannot synchronize the file.
The Player might not support the file type.
&
-Error: The RPC server is unavailable.

I looked up and found that the RPC server was "UPGRADED"
with SP2 which i have intalled so i am guessing the
upgrade has broken Windows Media 10.

I would really apreciate some help with this problem
cause basicly that is the main reason i use the player,
to organize my mp3's and then copy them to my mp3 player.

Thanx,

-Stephen Rose

p.s The mp3 plugin for windows media is a -great- thing!!
Thanx Microsoft!
