I'd like to sync my music from my internal hard drive to an external hard drive.
Windows Media Player doesn't recognize my USB external hard drive as a syncable device. If I plug in any USB flash drive, it shows up as a device, but I can't seem to get it to recognize my external hard drive.
Per some googling suggestions, the only suggestion I came across was to try enabling the "Portable Device Enumerator" service, but that yielded no luck.
Is there any way to sync my music from WMP to an external hard drive?

It seems ridiculous that there is no good solution to this, but here is my obvious workaround.
I sync'ed the music I wanted to a flashdrive first, then just tranferred it from the flash to the harddrive by clicking and dragging.
It's double-handling, I know, but it's the only way to get exactly what you want out of WMP. Personally I just wanted my 'Top Rated' songs on the harddrive to listen to while playing Xbox, but I also wanted them to remain in their Artist/Album folders for easy selection. This workaround did that for me.
