Windows Media Player "sync" problem -- files with status "stopped"

A playlist in Windows Media Player (WMP) (ver. 11) was being sync'ed to MP3
player using its 'sync' tab. For some reason, I pressed 'Stop Sync' button
during the sync process. My subsequent attempts to sync the stopped files
failed. In the 'Sync Results' there is 'stopped' in the Status column. I
tried many odd things like deleting settings files created on the MP3 player.
I don't know how using WMP I can sync those 'stopped' files. Nothing on the
Net seemed to help me. Have you got any idea? Thanks.

Does

help at all.... ? That seems loosely but not directly related. =\

I have this same problem. Did you ever get it fixed?

There's a converted media folder ("transcoded file cache") used by
media player to avoid having to repeatedly re-convert content when
it's synced several times to the same device.

I'm guessing the file has ended up in there as part-converted and
marked as such. In media player, if you go to the Sync tab first, then
choose More Options dropdown menu under the Sync tab, then to
Advanced... button, try clicking "Delete Files" there

I'd also remove the MP3 player from the USB port, close and restart
media player and let it pick up the device settings and "notice" there
are no previously transcoded files - hopefully that'll fix it up.

If not, there *are* lists of content held by media player in another
folder, I'll work out what that might be called if you're not fixed up
after this step.

HTH
