Vcast/Music Essentials Kit/WMP10 syncing
OK, hopefully someone here can clear this up for me....
Upgraded my phone to YK24 to be able to use the ME Kit. Bought the kit ($30) and installed as directed...drivers, WMP10, reboot. Computer sees the phone, WMP10 doesn't see the phone. Plus, in the Get it Now, My Tunes, Sync Music selection, "Not Supported". Verizon NOW tells me that I need $15/month Vcast to use the ME Kit to transfer my music via cable to the phone.
1) Is this true? Or has someone found a way to set this up and convert/transfer MP3's to WMA's on the phone w/o paying $15/month for Vcast service?
...rant mode on...
2) Does anyone else think this is crap? Spend $30 to transfer my music, NOT download over the air or through the Vcast music store, and STILL need to...

I don't have vcast service and I can transfer files just fine. I did find that my phone has to be in sync mode before I open the sync folder in WMP10 or it doesnt show up. Other than that I am out of ideas. Sorry.

I too do not have V cast, but I synched 30 MP3s to my phone last night using the ME Kit and MP10.
Did you install the USB driver that came with the ME Kit?
My phone is only about a week old and was already at YK24. But I downloaded the driver, re-booted, then plugged the phone in the USB port and made sure XP recognized the external device. Then I started MP10 and then I did 'sync music' on the phone. I have used MP10 to convert MP3 to WMA and to sync to other MP3 players and I know the order you do things is sometimes important. Hope this helps.

Yes I did the right order...
After alot of time on with Verizon tech support, we've come to the conclusion that either a. the firmware flash was bad or b. the phone is bad. The "sync music" option is not opening the sync port on the phone like it should. I'm going back for a re-flash or a new phone tomorrow (Wed).
