This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.
This topic documents a feature of the Windows Media Device Manager SDK. We recommend that you migrate your application to use the Windows Portable Devices API. For more information, see the Windows Portable Devices SDK.
You can enable a device to participate in automatic synchronization with Windows Media Player.

The device parameter UseExtendedWmdm must be set to a DWORD value of 1. See Device Parameters for more information.
