Syncable devices are the devices that participate in Windows Media Player auto-sync experience.

Service providers for syncable devices should expose the following new interfaces:

  • IMDSPDevice3
  • IMDSPObject2
  • IMDSPStorage4

Windows Media Device Manager takes advantage of these interfaces for functionality and performance. For non-syncable devices, these interfaces are ignored by Windows Media Device Manager even if the service provider (SP) implements them.

Requirements for Becoming a Syncable Device

By default the following devices are syncable:

  • MTP devices
  • Mass-storage devices
  • Windows CE devices (Windows Media Player 10 Mobile and later)

For any other device to become a syncable device, the following requirements need to be met:

  1. The device must advertise a PAP device interface that is {F33FDC04-D1AC-4E8E-9A30-19BBD4B108AE}
  2. The device parameter UseExtendedWmdm must be set to 1.
  3. The device objects returned by service provider must support the IMDSPDevice3 interface.
