IOS 6.1 sync issue Same artist/title

[outlandis]

Came across an interesting little problem while syncing my 4th gen ipod touch on ios6.1

Seems if a track has the same artist and title even though it may be from a different album, MM will only sync one of the song.

Example
Artist 1 - Song - Studio Album
Artist 1 - Song - Live Album

Only one of these songs will sync even though they are both supposed to sync.
If I change the info for the second song to
Artist 1 - Song (Live) - Live Album

Then they both sync fine.

Anyone else run into this problem?

Just downloaded the new 1623 build and confirmed I am having the same issue..

Hi, this seems to be a longstanding issue, because I can reproduce it also with 4.0.7

Will be fixed in build 1625 as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=10538

Ludek,

Thanks so much for the response to this issue?

Any idea when we can expect 1625?

Thanks for such a great product.

I can report this bug is fixed in 1625 but the issue remains that Mediamonkey wants to sync the entire library of songs every time even if there are no changes.

I can basically confirm with my iPod touch iOS 4.2.1 that 1625 still is having issues.

When I synched my device MM asked me to clean up the device since it is too full to sync all the files (using the "Unselected Library files" option). When I switched that to "All other media files" it presented me with the whole list of over 2400 files for deletion. I accepted and let the auto-sync do its job. The good news is that it was recopying everything rather than to just leave nothing but a few files on the device and didn't mess-up the Playlists like before.

I was hoping MM would now remember the files after one full sync with 1625 (the device was synced with 4.0.7 before). However, auto-sync is still trying to delete and reload everything everytime.

Thank you, I can reproduce the issue, it must be a regression in recent builds,

Just to give an update from my side. Auto-Sync in 1626 is now working very well for me.

The only (maybe cosmetic) issue that remains is with the device configuration panel. Selecting/seleclecting playlists that are already synched does not notably change the fill level down at the capacity bar. Wouldn't I expect the device to become almost empty when I deselect all playlists?
