I'm not sure if profile is the correct term but I have some issues and questions about the set of tracks I have selected to sync with my new iPod Classic 160GB.
It is quite time consuming to go through my large collection in the "Auto sync list" device tab and hand pick just what albums and playlists I want on my iPod. I usually use playlists to pick individual tracks to sync. For example, I have a long playlist of my favorite Beach Boys tracks and I sync that instead of their albums.
The problem started when I was trying to add a few tracks to the little remaining space on my iPod. It said "building sync list" for a while, which is understandable for such a large number of tracks. Then, it said "insufficient space". I was only adding a few tracks so I foolishly told it to continue anyway. One I saw that it wanted to auto delete all tracks on my iPod so I cancelled. All my tracks were there but the iPod only reported 3 tracks so I had to rebuild the database. Once sync is broken, is there any way to get it back without starting over? With such a large collection and auto converting from flac, it took 2 nights overnight to complete.
Also, is there any way to sync the same list to another device? I'm planning to put Rockbox on it eventually once issues have been ironed out and my iPod will be seen as a different device. Can I save and/or port my selections to a new device?
Thanks,
Tim
