Sync Motorola Xoom Tablet

[Zonky]

Hi,

Some days ago I had MM3 installed and synced my local MP3 files to an Android device, a HTC Desire, which worked fine.

Using this Android device I've set up MM3 to move all MP3 files from a folder (AmazonMP3) to my local PC and let MM3 automatically store them here e.g. g:\Users\Michael\Music\MP3\<Album Interpret>\<Album>\<Titel> - this, again, worked fine. The files were copied from the smartphone to my local PC and were deleted from the smartphone afterwards

Now I had to reinstall MM, clearing the database and I'm now on MM4, build 1424. I've lost those settings above and don't remember I forced MM3 to move the files from my smartphone. Do you know how I've to set up MM4 to get the same behavior again?

Second, I've got a different Android Device, a Motorola Xoom tablet. Syncing the MP3 files to this device works pretty well, too.
However I'm now searching for the same set up as mentioned above.
The only difference seems to be that the smartphone got a drive letter assigned by Windows7 (64bit) and the Xoom tablet does not. It is just accessible by MM4 w/o any drive letter and so does Windows Explorer under Portable Devices.
Hence, I guess, I cannot set up MM4 to move all files from the AmazonMP3 sub-folder (Xoom) to my local PC, right?

Any help highly appreciated, thanks,
Michael

I'm assuming that you auto-synced with MM3 and used the Device > Options (tab) > Auto-sync > '[x] Delete files and Playlists not included in the Auto-sync list from the device' option.

Hence, I guess, I cannot set up MM4 to move all files from the AmazonMP3 sub-folder (Xoom) to my local PC, right?

Try enablin the option to 'Auto-sync files from the device to the PC' (on the same config panel as above).

Hi,
would this option sync folders other than \Music, too? I mentioned the folder \AmazonMP3, which the Amazon app creates when buying some MP3 from their store.

At the moment, MM only supports bi-di sync of a single directory from the portable device. We plan on improving this for 4.1.

Hi rusty,

that enhancement would be great! OTH this request in Mantis tracker is rather old, are you sure it would be implemented in 4.1?

Can't promise, but the issue has become more important because of phones capabilities, so it really is in our plans.
