WMDC-Windows Media Player-Bluetooth Sync...?

Using Vista Ultimate 64 bit with WMDC and a WM5 Smartphone. When I connect
the device to my laptop via the USB cable, Windows Media Player 'sees' it.
When I connect via Bluetooth, WMDC connects fine, but Windows Media Player
doesn't see it at all. Is there a way to configure things so that
connecting via Bluetooth works the same as USB

I have been trying to solve the same problem, from what I can tell you can't
use Bluetooth to sync media player.

With luck, you're wrong and someone will post the way. Would be nice if an
alert or something popped up on your first Bluetooth connection stating that
'you can sync everything except WMP files'... Wonder why they wouldn't have
made it possible -- DRM maybe?
