Sync music and playlists to Kinoma Play with Windows Media Player

If you man­age your music on a Win­dows PC, Win­dows Media Player is a great way to syn­chro­nize music and playlists from your PC to your phone for use with Kinoma Play.

All you need to do is cre­ate your playlists, tell Win­dows Media Player which ones you want to sync with your Stor­age Card, and then start the sync process.

(These instruc­tions are for Win­dows Media Player 12. Ear­lier ver­sions work just as well, but some of the spe­cific details may be a lit­tle dif­fer­ent. If you need help, we wel­come you to join us on our forum.)

Cre­ate your playlists

To cre­ate a playlist click the Cre­ate Playlist but­ton. Or, click the arrow on the right side of the but­ton to choose between Cre­ate Playlist and Cre­ate Auto Playlist.

Cre­ate Playlist lets you choose tracks man­u­ally. Just drag tracks and entire albums to the playlist to add them.

Cre­ate Auto Playlist auto­mat­i­cally cre­ates a playlist based on cri­te­ria that you choose. For exam­ple, you can eas­ily cre­ate an auto playlist that picks 2 hours of coun­try music rated 4 stars or higher. The auto playlist will be auto­mat­i­cally updated every time you sync.

Tell Win­dows Media Player what to sync

Next, tell WMP what playlists you want to sync with your phone. An easy way to do this is to drag the playlist icons to your Stor­age Card, which adds them to the “sync list” for your card.
