It appears you are working on 2 issues, Music and syncing. Let me suggest you purchase a memory card for your phone if you haven't already.
There are 2 ways to work with music on the Q:
1. The QUICK and DIRTY way to put music on the Q is to get a memory card (Mini SD or Micro SD w/ Mini adapter) with a card reader. You then copy the music from your computer to the card. Put the card in the Q and open the music player, tell it update the library so it scans the card to see what music is there, and then tell it use the library for the card.
2. when the Q is connected to the computer with the USB cable, you can open Windows Media and click on the Sync tab. You should be prompted to setup the device - giving it a name etc. If you have a memory card in the Q, you can set up 2 devices, the memory card (through the Q) and the Q itself. You will then be able to copy music to the device. You will want to copy music to the memory card (the Q memory is not very big and you won't be able to store many songs on there). This method of transfering songs to the phone works very well, especially for utilizing playlists, but is (much) slower than the 1st method.
Your second issue is dealing with the sync function for email/calendar/tasks etc. Activesync on your computer is designed work with Microsoft Outlook. If you don't use Outlook, you may not find much use for the activesync program. Microsoft Outlook can work with an Exchange Server (many companies use exchange servers). If you get your email from an Exchange Server, you can set the Q up to communicate directly with the Exchange Server using the Activesync program that is on the phone (you will probably want unlimited data if this is the case).
hope this helps.
