Hi, had the same problem with an HTC Desire, the .ini file fix above worked.

The same problem with my Nokia 5800 and bluetooth sync.

Hi Rusty!

I started this topic and announced you MM didn't synchronise well with Zen Vision:M on Vista (in beta build 1105).
I really like MM and it looks nice. MM3 is going to be a really good player. However, my problem is not yet fixed, I'm afraid...

When I go through te options for synchronisation, the browse-button for storage Location is disabled. As result of it (I guess), MM still doesn't sync the the desired folder, being /Music. It keeps synchronising to root (/).

I seem to remember that MM3 once synchronised right (it could be in Build 1098 like Espen73 confirmed, I'm not shure anymore ).

Another problem is that sometimes, after completing Synchronisation, the progress bar is still active. It doesn't dissappear. Only on closing MM (with the message there are still running tasks, confirm termination...)

Here is some info about my windows Machine en Zen Vision:M; if you desire more info, just ask. I check this forum sometimes.

Computer (Acer Aspire 5920):
Windows Vista Home Premium
Core 2 Duo T7300 - 2GB RAM

Zen Vision:M (30GB)
Firmware version: 1.62.02_0.00.23

I hope this information is sufficient to help you make MM the best Media Player ever :p

Followup: I had not synced my wife's Ipod since I was back on MM2.5. She was preparing to leave on a long trip and wanted a Christmas music playlist synced. I'm using MM3 RC3. Yesterday I synced the playlist and everything appeared to work fine. But she called me from work to say that nothing in the Christmas playlist would play. Her other playlists played fine, but when she tried to play the Christmas list it spent a few seconds at each song and then jumped to the next song, but played nothing.

Last night upon inspection I found all of the songs in the root of her Ipod. The Ipod paths to the songs indicated that they should have been in the standard Ipod style sub-directories.

I went into device configuration and noticed that the "Force Itunes style folders" was not checked, so I checked it and exited MM3 RC3. I came back in and verified that the check box was still checked, and synced again. Same issue. So I started messing with the "Sync tracks to" setting, which had no effect. I was trying the standard stuff, such as "\<Artist>\<Artist>-<Title>", etc...

Then I tried downgrading to RC2. Same problem. I downgraded to RC1, same problem.

So I exported all of my playlists and then opened MM2.5 and imported the 4 playlists I wanted. (I had to wipe and resync because by then I had messed up her other playlists via testing.) Using MM2.5 everything synced perfectly. The wife drove off this morning with her 3 favorite playlists, and a 4th playlist of 150 of the best Christmas songs I could find. She's happy, so I'm happy.... but MM3 RC3 isn't happy.

I have the same issue with my wife's 4 gig Ipod. All songs go directly to the root of the thing, and then the Ipod can't find them, even though they show up in its playlists. Seems to make no difference what settings I use in the device sync setup options.

Hi!

Just tried RC-3. Same problem, all tracks syncs to root (/). Once more, reinstalling 1098 resolves the issue. I've mailed logs and stuff to MM.

So, I just reinstalled build 1098 and it once again works the way it supposed to. Puts them in the correct folder.

More info:
- No conversion spesified.
- Sync track to string: \Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track#> - <Title>

BTW. Syncing to the correct folders worked just fine in MM2.5 on Win XP. This was using the exact same sync-settings.

Hi!

I've seen this exact same problem with ZEN Vision:M and ZEN 16GB and VISTA.

My story so far:
- MM2.5 - Syncs all tracks to root (/) and not to folders. Makes player crash after approx. 1000 tracks.
- MM3 build 1098 - Worked just fine
- MM3 build 1105 - Same problem as 2.5

The problem seems to be that all tracks get renamed to root in VISTA no matter where you ask MM to put it.

Keep up the great work by the way!!!

MiST,

I tested this with a Zen Vision (not the :M model), and it synced properly. Is there anything else you can tell me?

e.g.
-did this work with MM 2.5 (on your current machine/OS)?
-does manual sync vs auto-sync make a difference?
-does a change in the mask have _any_ effect?
-are files being auto-converted?
...

Thx. I do believe that there's a problem, considering that you're not the only one who's reported this, but we haven't been able to replicate it to-date.

In the last beta (3.0.0.1105), Mediamonkey does not use the right folders to sync to. I configured mediamonkey to Sync files to the 'Music'-folder in the ROOT of my device, followed by sucdirectories <Artist>\<Album>.
Unfortunately, the configuration doesn't seem to matter. All files are just placed into the ROOT folder of my device, which messes up the file structure.
My MP3-player, a ZEN Vision:M does not have problems with the placement, but I have
I've always liked structure, which is not the case at this moment.

I use Vista Home Premium 32bit on an ACER 5920 machine.
and the MP3 player I'm using is a ZEN Vision:M (30GB)

I hope it can be fixed soon...
Kind Regards,
Michiel STaessen
