You could not have ripped to M4A using the player: could you clarify? Windows Media Player rips to WMA or MP3. The player should sync WMA or Mp3 well.
When you say Windows crashes at the end, what happens there? Your first crash sounded like a hardware or USB driver failure.

I'm having so many problems synching my AT&T Tilt with the library of WMP 11
on my laptop that I'm not even sure I can assemble a coherent picture of the
problem since the problem appears to be so random and unpredicatble. But
it's making me nuts and I need help resolving it. So here goes:
I'm running Vitsa Ultimate on a Gateway laptop, connecting my AT&T Tilt,
which is running Windows Mobile 6.1, via USB. The WMP in Windows mobile 6.1
is supposed to play M4A audio files natively but I just couldn't get it to do
it, thus eliminating the simple solution of dragging and dropping folders
from iTunes onto my Tilt's expansion card. So I selected a dozen or so CDs
that I really want to have on my phone and ripped them using WMP and then
synched -- well tried to sycn -- it to my phone. At which point all hell
breaks lose, in various forms:
When I use Windows Mobile Device Manager to compare the files in my music
directory on the device's expansion card, they don't match. It actually
appears that the card has much more on it than the library shows but, by the
same token, some folders in the library aren't showing on the card.
99% of the time that I start a synch between them, at no particular time and
related to no particular event, the laptop just shuts down ... SNAP! ... it's
off and has to be rebooted, showing a "Windows failed to shut down properly"
message on the way up.
If I just use a plain old drag and drop from the music library to the proper
directory on the Tilt card, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Several times, during the 5 - 10 minutes it takes for an entire CD to copy
from the laptop to the Tilt, Windows has crashed completely.
If I drag a CD folder into the area of WMP that reads "Drag Items Here to
create a list to synch ...", the snych process begins but shows that all of
the songs on that particular CD have to be convereted (from what to what I
don't know), which makes no sense since I ripped them in teh first place with
WMP. In any event, after converting a song or two, Windows crashes.
HELP!
