I'm having the same sync problem with two iPod shuffles. As one is only for audiobooks and podcasts I guess I could use a different sync program for it and transfer these things over, but I LOVE MM, and you don't cheat on the things you love, right? :D

Hopefully a solution will come soon :)

Any news on this issue? I'm having the same problem. Everything was fine until a few days ago, since then MM uses the same settings for my Nano and Ipod classic.
It is constantly syncing tracks, which haven't been changed (timestamp is ok), all lyrics on the ipod are truncated.
I am using MM 3.1 1240 gold, Windows XP SP 3

No news. I don't even see it in the bug list so I wouldn't count on it ever being fixed.

One kludgey workaround would be to create an auto-playlist for each Shuffle, using whatever criteria you'd use in the auto-sync. Then you can manually sync each Shuffle to its corresponding list. I've got three Shuffles, and that's the best solution I've come up with.

Any other thoughts?

Should be on the bug list, we're not alone:

I use playlists as well, but it's annoying, and still truncates lyrics, syncs files which haven't been changed.

Thanks--it looks like a regression with 3.1 prerelease builds. Tracked at: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5674
