sync issues re: MMA to MMW

Post by jjfnk »

Can you help me set the perameters to sync ONLY from MMA to MMW via USB. I am interested in syncing only music and playlists that are on the MMA. I have the latest versions of each program and need to know settings on both.

Is there a users manual for MMA? I haven't found a comprehensive one that describes each setting.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and Windows 7 on my computer. I do not understand all of the settings and am afraid I will mess up both databases if I do it incorrectly.

If you can direct me to a specific discussion on this issue that would be helpful.

Thanks.

I'd presume that if in the Device Profile in MMW you set it to sync nothing (Auto-Sync (--> Device) tab) and disable to delete files from the device and setup to Auto-Sync new files and Playlist from the device to the PC (Auto-Sync (--> Library tab) that this should do what you request.

Note that I haven't tried this.

Lowlander, thanks for your response. However, I do not see where I can follow your suggestions. On MMW with the MMA micro-card highlighted, I can choose Auto-Sync but then the 3 tabs says Device Summary, Auto Sync List, or Options. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Also, is the MMA playlist located on the MMA card or the device by default?

Sorry for the ignorance here. I've been able to copy my tracks with no problem from the MMW to MMA.

This beta seems to work just fine. I'll try some more transfers and see.

One related queston. I noticed on my MMA I have two folders for every artist, ie., The Eagles and The Eagles (1). Some are empty and some have tracks or art. Is this usual? Is there a way to combine so I have half as many folders? Have I somehow re-synced and caused this to happen?

Thanks again.

I've not seen that happen nor reported for folders (it can happen for files when there are duplicates). If you can reproduce you should capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and send it to support: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... f=12&t=341

Another questions: How do I delete all mp3 files and playlists from my MMA and then just resync from MMW? I don't want to delete anything from MMW.

I think the flags are messed up some how and MMA and MMW are not seeing the proper flags.

Thanks,

I normally (not done since a long time though) manually delete Playlists in MMA, then delete all media and Playlist files on the device. Then a device and PC restart and resync.
