Winamp won't recognize Atrix (Android) over USB????

cordero · 3rd April 2011, 19:50

I just got a new atrix 2 days ago and am running it unlocked on Fido. I went through a few media players until I remembered Winamp, which I now love because it is by far the best as for getting info and album art for songs.

However one problem - for some reason it refuses to recognize my phone. My computer and a handful of other programs recognize my phone so the issue is not there, it must be specific to winamp :s.

Again it is over USB, I have not tried wireless yet. The phone is in "USB Mass Storage Mode".

I downloaded The Ultimate Media Library Plugin, and it worked fine but I'm not sure how to add songs to the phone with this method??

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Dumb question, but did you try clicking the discover button after hooking it up?

If you only did a Standard install (as opposed to Full install) - then the Android support plugin may not have been installed. Had the same problem with my Galaxy S, reinstalled and made sure to check the box under Winamp Libary > Portable Media Player Support > Android Device Support when I got to the type of install, now it's working.
