Cannot seem to sync to correct folder on zen Vision:M 60Gb

[frankx]

Hello, i am new to mediamonkey.

I have searched the forum but i cannot find the answer. I know the solution to my problem must be simple, but i cannot seem to get it right.

My setup:

• Notebook with Mediamonky 3.0.2.1124 Gold and Vista ultimate with SP1 installed
  Zen Vision:M 60GB

My problem:
When i want to sync my mp3 to the device, everything is sync'ed to the root of the player and no album folders are created.

What i want is to get the songs in the "Music" directory (standaard on Zen) and there subfolders for the albums (or original folder locations).
the plug-in settings i have set to: \Music\<Album>\<Artist> - <Titel>

But everything is still going in the root and no album folders are created.....
For each mp3 there are two files created: the mp3 and an .alb file

What and where am i doing things wrong?

Thnx for helping out
regards
Frank

After searching i found this in the knowledge base:

Some Zen devices exhibit a bug with MediaMonkey causing
synchronization to copy all tracks to the device's root directory. A
generalized fix is not yet available, however, a workaround that is
specific to these devices is to modify the MediaMonkey.ini file by
adding the following:

[WMDM]
COMApartmentThreading=1

See: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/staf ... ticleid=17

BUT where is the ini file???? i cannot find it on my computer
And the link is for staff only....

Anyone know anything else i can try?

Mediamonkey.ini default file locations:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey

Windows Vista: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Mediamonkey

Thnx workaround seems to work.

Now i can start the sync. and wait..... 45Gb to sync

Mediamonkey.ini default file locations:

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey

Windows Vista: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Mediamonkey

Hello

Can you please give me a step by step guiding in how to add "[WMDM]
COMApartmentThreading=1" ??

Or can you just paste it at the very end of the loong list (with or without space/enter)??

I hope you can help me with this one

Just paste at the end of the file as follows:

Code: Select all

[WMDM]
COMApartmentThreading=1
