When I use Windows Media Player 10 to synch with my mobile device, it
automatically includes the album art in the artists' folder. Then, when I
want to delete songs from my mobile device I get the following error message:

"C00D119C: Cannot delete the playlist"

I have to manually delete the album art (using file explorer) before it will
allow me to delete the directory on my mobile device.

Does anyone know how to either 1) Stop WMP from including the album art? or
2) Permit WMP to delete the album art on the movile device?

Thanks for any advice.

I'm having the exact same problem. When WMP 10 on XP sync's music onto
my Smartphone (Audiovox SMT5600 w/WMP 10 Mobile), it creates a
directory structure of /music/artist/album/files.* within my SD card.
This is all fine and dandy, but when you highlight part of the
directory tree in WMP 10 on the desktop, in an attempt to delete it
from your mobile device, it all goes wrong. It will delete all the
audio files but leave behind the album art and the directory tree, then
spit the above mentioned error at you.

It's very annoying to have to manually delete your files and update the
WMP library, when this is something that should just "work". Even a
simple PPC app that went through the /music tree and deleted all
folders containing just a single jpg would do the trick.
