synchronization setting of a portable MTP player with WMP 10

I got a small MP3 player (a portable "MTP player" in Windows terms as it was
recognized by Windows XP).
First I loaded the MP3 player with songs (without any knowledge about what
synchronization is - so the memory of the MP3 player was loaded with songs
without my interuption and ant intentional control). They played well on the
portable devices. However, these songs are not all I liked.

Now, I want to "delete" all of the loaded songs and "reload" the MP3 player
with only the songs I like. When I connected the MP3 player to my PC (Windows
XP with SP2), I selected Windows Media Player (WMP) as my sychronization
host, and then I chose "set up synch" button. In the first appeared panel, I
selected "automatic" synchronization with "customize the playlists that will
be synchronized" check-marked.
In next panel, I selected "delete all content fron the device before
synchronization for the first time".
In next panel, I check-marked the playlist I want to input to my portable
MP3 player. Then I hit "Finish".

No matter how I varied the above procedures, I ALWAYS got the following panel:

"Window Media Player:
Window Media Player cannot modify the synchronizatiom setting at this time.
Try again later."

I have tried again and again for at least 20 times, but it always returned
with the same message. What goes wrong? Could someone knowledgeable please
help me resolve this problem : ) What does "try again later" mean?

Hum.... this is the newsgroup for WMP for Mac...... You should probably
repost in the regular WMP group :-)
