Syncing with BB10 - new versions of MediaMonkey

Post by kmenzel »

So - recent versions of MediaMonkey don't include d_USBMass1.dll, but as far as I can tell, it's certainly the best way to sync with a BlackBerry 10 device, because by default the BlackBerry maps storage as a network drive, so nothing else seems to pick the phone up (at least in Windows 8.1)

I mean, the USBMass plugin doesn't ALWAYS pick up the device, I usually have to change a setting before MediaMonkey sees it, but it's more consistent than using USB Mass Storage mode on the phone (there are bugs with the way that BB10 handles meta-data when the SD card is accessed in mass storage mode - weird caching issues - I mean, yeah, totally not a MediaMonkey issue, but it'd be nice to be able to work around it).

So the question is - is the option to treat an arbitrary drive as a device (and thus have all the benefits of keeping track of what is sync'd, transcoding only certain files, etc) just something I'm missing, or is that something that should be a feature request or...

... or is there an option for syncing the Z10 that I'm missing which doesn't involve keeping a backup of d_USBMASS1 kicking around?

It apparently was causing issues and thus was removed (I don't understand why myself though).
