same 2 albums keep syncing to iPhone over and over

Post by Andrew-nz »

Every time I plug my phone in 2 albums, already on my phone, always re-sync.
As these are both auto-converted from flac to mp3 this slows my sync down considerably.
I can’t see anything unusual about these albums/tags and they both appear and play on my phone.
Any ideas?

4.1.25.1889 gold
iPhone7

I moved up to .25 to address issues with iOS13.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think it was doing this on previous versions as well.

Something kept updating the modified timestamps of the files in these albums.

I also noticed Windows Explorer would not show the tags properly, using mp3tag to inspect that tags they had some odd ID3/FLAC combination as the tag version.

Doing a cut tags in mp3tag and then a paste tags standardised them ands the tags now show a more standard version of just FLAC, the tag appear properly in Win Explorer and I think the time stamp and resync issue has stopped.

Hi,
FYI MediaMonkey is not capable to write ID3 Tags to FLAC files as it is not allowed.
