The fact I can see it in the track list.

By "This functionality" I was referring to the "All" node missing from portable device folders... of this topic.

Seems you're referring to some additional data.

This lack of functionailty is surely down to the MM main app rather than any plug-in. It's a matter of data presentation, not acquisition.

:lol: :lol: Now why would I want to purchase an outdated machine that would not be able to get any service when something goes wrong?? No, there are other manufacturers I would select before Apple. I have been with Creative for too many years to switch unless they blunder massively. I am still hoping the devs can and will give us a Creative specific plugin that would give us non-ipod users more functionality. As a side note, one night I will steal my sons ipod to test it with MM to see if it is worth possibly converting.

Sounds useful to me! :)

Like I want to know: does iPod really show All sub-nodes in MM?

I am able to see all the tracks in the folder(s) by navigating to it but I am not able to see all tracks on the device, which is something that I would like.

... on this Creative ZEN. EDIT: Actually I'm now thinking this is probably true on all WMDM devices. EDIT: hence missing functionalilty rather than bug.

Anyone know a workaround for seeing all tracks in a folder?
