I was trying to sync some music wirelessly through Winamp last night. It recognized and I connected to my phone but when I went to transfer it just sat at 0% saying "Connecting". I finally gave up after an hour. Has anyone experienced this? Is there any port forwarding that needs to be opened up on my router?

Haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I have been using audio galaxy to do so.

In order to have winamp sync your songs you have to check the file info (right click on any song and click "view file info") and insure:
-The "Disc" field is empty
-The "BPM" field is empty (not positive on that one)
-There is something in the album field (write Unknown if you don't know what album)
-There are no special characters in any fields. I'm not sure which ones work and which ones don't, but someone mentioned : will not work. Round brackets () are okay.

I had one file that would not work so I just retyped out everything and it worked. There may have been a space at the end of a field or something like that.

In summary: It's because of the file info
