And, yes it is Beta, but very stable.
But as always, Backup, before any upgrades.

Agreed or I wouldn't use it otherwise.

And Spacefish knows how to test things!

Missed the link when I first saw the message. Went back, downloaded, upgraded and resync'd. All files converted and copied. Without changing anything, I didn't even remove the phone from my computer, still "Drive M" I re-sync'd. All files again converted and re-copied. In fact, it's the middle of the process now. Very frustrating.

Thanks for the link and reminder...from the fix list it looked like it should have fixed the problem, but apparently it did not.

I just came across this thread whilst looking for something else. I have been using MM 3.0.2.1134 for about three weeks, so I am far from expert. But I have not had any problem syncing about 6 or 7 GB of music with my clix 2. MM doesn't copy everything, just what has changed. (And I say that without any smugness whatsoever. Well, perhaps just a little..)

In case it helps I am using UMS/MSC mode, and I always sync using Sync to Device > Auto-synchronize after setting up a sync list using Sync to Device > Options. Not knowing any better, I assumed that was the logical way to do it, but not everyone seems to do it that way. It might work for you.. Or perhaps clixes are just a bit special.

mike0910,

In case it helps I am using UMS/MSC mode

Perhaps you can help, I've tried many a time to get a definitive answer to this and failed every time. What do you mean by the above? I understand the alternative "mode" to MSC is MTP, but how is it possible to configure my system to change between the two?

I'm not a very advanced user, but I'm a keen learner! Please be gentle with me

I noticed that a few month ago, it could already be a year and I'm really tired of watching what I have already synced and what not.
I'm converting all my files to another format, when syncing to me mp3-Player so each sync process takes a long time for me at the moment.

@Developers: It's time for you to react and fix that!

A small bug was just fixed and the fix will appear in the next release (very soon). So please check it out and in case there's still a problem, please e-mail me more details - like a debug log.

I don't have an iPod, so I can't really tell you. Off the top of my head, MSC is Mass Storage Class, which is used for a removable drive connected by USB. And MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, which is Microsoft's way of implementing their DRM nonsense (Plays For Sure etc.). My clix can do either mode, selectable in the device's menus. iPods have their own Apple DRM, but I don't know how it works on a PC. Sorry.

Mike.

Hi all,

I have an iPod Classic 80GB, I read this thread and installed the latest MM Beta 3.0.3.1177.

It doesn't sync changes, it always sync full (copies my entire library to the ipod).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have a Sansa e250 with RockBox and MM ver. 3.0.2.1134. If I use autosync, only the new songs are copied. It would be nice to be able to use "Send to...", but right now I'm happy with how things are working.

Just wanted to post some info here for the benefit of others.

I am using MM 3.03.1183 on a PC running WinXP Pro SP2. My music files are on a server (Ubuntu w/ Samba). My mp3 player is a Sansa c250 (c200 series) in auto-detect (MTP) mode.

Whenever I would plug in my Sansa, MM would not recognize any of the music I had already synced on the device. This happened every time, regardless of how I configured the time-stamp update option, autoconversion (to lower bitrate), track leveling, etc.

What seemed to solve this sync problem for me was EITHER adjusting the clocks on my two computers according to this Knowledgebase article: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... 13&nav=0,1

OR setting the file location to root and the file name to <album> - <filename>, as recommended here (for the Sansa e200 series, which I think is very similar to the c200 series):
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... &sk=t&sd=a

I changed the clock settings first, but didn't test this config thoroughly before changing the path settings. Changing the path sealed the deal; it now seems to work like a charm.

Cheers,
WRE

Hi, I've just had a Creative Zen 32gb as a present and have discovered this problem (I never used the sync feature before, wasn't worth it with a 1gb player!), it resyncs about 1500 tracks each time. I'm running version 2.5.5.996, which I realise is way behind the times. I couldn't live without the auto-playlists so I need the Gold version, I don't mind buying MM3, but I don't want to without knowing if this issue is definitely fixed or not. How are people doing with it nowadays?

Many thanks, ModoX.
