Vista - I WANT to sync everything...

Everything I've read says that if your device is big enough WMP will set it
to automatically sync everything. I have a Creative Zen Vision: M 30GB and I
have about 10 GB of music in my library. It won't let me sync everything and
makes me select certain playlists. All the help files tell you how to switch
from synching everything to just synching certain playlists not vice versa.
I've read help files about switching between automatic and manual sync. I
have done this and when I switch to automatic it won't let me close the
window until I select the playlists I want to sync. I tried ending the sync
partnership and setting it back up but it still won't sync my entire library.
I could create a playlist with my entire library on it, but I don't want to
have to be constantly adding to it when I get new music. Can somebody help me
out?

Has no one else had this problem? Is it just something silly that I'm
overlooking? I guess I should mention that when I was syncing with my old XP
Computer it worked fine. When I transfered all of my music to Windows Vista
Home Basic it wouldn't let me sync everything. I had WMP 11 on both.

I have this problem as well with my Zen Vision M 30 GB player. The sync
playlists (all music, 5 stars, etc.) aren't availble in WMP when I connect my
player. They are however on my computer in
C:\users\{username}\appdata\local\microsoft\media player\sync
playlists\en-us\{hex string}. I tried deleting all the media player database
files, but the sync files didn't come back. If anyone could help it would be
great. Thanks.
