I heard it only works with Synch and not with drag and drop? Is this true?

If your art is embedded in the tag it works %100 no matter how you transfer it.

Thanks

I also have a sony 818 and use media monkey.. it's a winning combination with a fast transfer rate.

i have a creative zen 16gb bought it and like one week later 32 announced. Really need the space though. If sony releases a 32gb version i will pre order the thing

Just got my A818 today. Liking it a lot so far. Not as feature rich as my Samsung YP-T9 but pretty good. The build quality is really nice though as is the screen. Good job finally Sony.

For those using MediaMonkey, how do you put videos on the device?

My music is synced using MediaMonkey, but I tried to drag and drop a (as far as I can tell compatible) video file in the VIDEO directory (where the Spiderman 3 trailer is) it just doesn't appear. I figured it was because Mediamonkey was controlling the sync.

Any way around this? Does mediamonkey have a video option? I couldn't see any after a quick look through the menus.

I don't have a A818, but I do use MediaMonkey. I don't use synch though. I just use drag and drop through the my computer node. Does that not work with video

I use MediaMonkey to sync music. I don't use videos on my Sony in general, but I did toss a few on there just to test it. For those, I just did drag and drop in Windows. My guess is that your video files were not really compatible. I converted mine with the free (somewhat stripped-down) version of AnyVideoConverter to mp4, and they worked.

Yeah that's what I'm still thinking, but I just figured that even if they weren't compatible they would still show up on the video library list, and then if I played them from there they would THEN fail.

What settings did you use? Do you think the fact that I used 25fps rather then 29.97fps have any difference.....

Not sure. I do know that I played around with different settings on video size and framerate, and they all worked, but I don't remember exactly which settings I tried.
