There is no MediaMonkey for iOS (iPhone), just for Android.

Ok so just reading everything that has to be done is to much. Is there any MP3 player that runs MM so I can sync to it normally? Also I have an iPhone. If install the MM App on it can it communicate directly with my MM which is on my LC.

Send To > Device does NOT produce duplicates. It just replaces the file under the target path.

But WHY? Why would anyone want to have dupes whether it's done manually automatically or any other way?

That's an understatement if there ever was one.

What you are telling him here works except that there doesn't seem to be any provision in MM to monitor this for dupes. So you have to know that the chosen files aren't already on the device, otherwise you end up with what all MM users inevitably seem to end up with - duplications.

you have already answered yourselves:
[quote="quartz"]ah. I've seen "send to ->(my ipod)", that seems to be it to send the files over[/quote]

this is not a user-friendly application :s

The Auto-Sync button is for manual sync using the Device Profile settings. You can also have Auto-Sync automatically start when device is connected which is a setting on the Summary tab of the Device Profile.

MediaMonkey can't format Apple devices.

thanks how do I get it to scan the additional sets directory?

by the way can I format my ipod thro mm?

My Computer shows what's on your PC whereas Location in the Device Profile shows what folders have been scanned into the MediaMonkey Library and are part of the Music Collection.

Ah....

I've just seen that it's listing my ipod in 2 different places

1 doesnt give much, 1 has all the music listed correctly. ok thats in the right direction :)

ive attached an image which shows that some directories are missing from the folders listing, do you know why this might be (the directory listing from auto sync -> device is missing the 'sets' folder)

could I suggest 2 basic guides, 1 on how to copy files from PC onto ipod, and 1 on how to sync between a directory on the computer, and the ipod?

Hope this helps:
