syncing flac on external HD fills primary HD [#10472]
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 6:39 am
Hello,
I tried to sync my FLAC collection (+/-7000 songs) which are located on an external HD to an Ipod Classic 160Gb.
So I need conversion. Syncing starts but after a while, I got low on disc space on my primary hard disk (after about 1500 songs).
So I made some space free (+/-1 Gb), restarted my computer and tried again to sync. I noticed then that during syncing MM apparently made files on my primary HD and in no time, I got again a low disk space error as my primary HD again was totally full.
So I searched ( via Explorer) for new files, but I did not find such a huge amount of newly created files...
Any suggestions what I should do to solve this problem? I can imagine that MM need some space to temporary create files during conversion, but I think it would delete them after the conversion or am I wrong?
I also checked windows temp dir but did not find anything.
thanks for some help...
