Windows Media Player sync problem

Whenever I want to sync music into my Memory Stick Pro Duo for my W800 phone, WMP syncs it in wma format. W800 doesnt support wma format. How do I sync in mp3 format?
I browsed through the options but no option says that.

Help!!

 

1) Go to the "Rip Music" Tab
2) Under "Rip Settings"; change the format from "windows media audio" to "mp3"

weird huh? not exactly intuitive, why didn't they give us this option when it first detects the phone/device, and save a settings for that particular device. and they really should put some sort of option in the sync area. at least give us a link in the "device" tab.

 

I set it to mp3, but still no help!!!

 

what file are you using for ur music?

umm.. how about this. when u plug ur memmory stick in;
1)under option select "devices" tab (sync->more options...)
2)under that select ur memory stick, and click properties
3)any option?

i've look into windows media player help and it seems that there are a lot of useful info.

the reasons probably is because windows media player don't know what kind of device u've got, since ur plugging in the memory stick; not the phone itself, thus its don't know ur phone's compatibility.

don't sony ericsson supply u with their own software? why not try installing it? (or are u can't be bothered/annoyed that it'll make ur computer messy?)

 

I tried those options.
Sony Ericsons software doesnt work in Windows Vista.

 

help!!!!!!!!!!

 

errr.. how about..... plugging the phone directly instead?

 

I dont have the USB cable, that is the main problem.

 

thats strange... don't you get one when u bought it?
well... my only ideas right now is for u to either get that cable and see what happened or; do u mind moving ur music to iTunes?
