thanks for the reply Jiri, much appreciated
and good luck!

Jiri, will it include the search function?

Jiri, can you tell me if the Android app will have the same advanced search as MM desktop? that's my main reason for using MM instead of iTunes - if so, it would allow me to create playlists on my phone whenever I feel like it, thanks!

I'd given up on syncing with MM (too slow + unreliable). Then it was claimed the 4.0.6 MM update improved things so I gave it a try Good news: it synced all 212 songs in my playlist (it always used to skip songs for no apparent reason) Not-so-good news: the playlist report I exported to Excel came ...

sorry, you need one of the regulars here to advise on that!
I've given up syncing with MM - it's great for editing tags and organizing libraries but I've now gone back to syncing with iTunes again - quicker and more reliable
good luck

sorry to state the obvious ... but have you tried playing them on your iPod?

thanks heavens I do - otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get into the phone, delete the file and get iTunes going again!
anyway thanks, I'll check those logs - just wish MM and iTunes would work more harmoniously together

Another horrible experience. 1st the good news: I did what you suggested, Lowlander - wiped all music off the iPhone, synced 1 file with iTunes, then synced my MM playlist. It worked! Still a bit slow but all 356 songs got copied. Thanks! So I set up autosync (until then I'd been manually right ...

Hi Lowlander
MM - 4.0.5
iPhone = 3GS and
iOS = 5.0.1

does any of this sound familiar to anyone? after years of syncing with iTunes I've been recently syncing with MM cos I now do everything else on MM anyway 1) it is way sl-ooow-er than iTunes - I've synced the same playlists and there's no comparison. 2) for no apparent reason it sometimes skips ...

OK Lowlander, thanks for your help

wow, 71 readers so far and not a single reply! 3) I've now seen you can get a playback bar by changing skins so that's OK but 1 and 2 are reasonable questions aren't they? especially would like to know why there's no dropdown bar for album artist as for other fields, or whether anyone thinks that's ...

wow you guys are really on to it! if I find any of the searches I want not covered, I'll let ya know! thanks heaps

you're a champion - I just want to make sure my other searches don't work this time and then I'll seek your help, thanks again!

you are completely correct MMuser - it certainly is the answer for that example . so far it is not working for some other AND/OR examples I am trying. I won't bore everyone here, I'll keep working on it thanks again very much for your help - I never thought the search window could do a job that ...
