"Problem while copying file" error

Hi There,

I am new to Media Monkey. I am on Win, and I am using the free desktop version for now. I have an Android phone (Moto X) and I bought the Pro version for Android to be able to do wireless sync (and to support the developers).

My music library is on a NAS - a bunch of MP3 files. Essentially, I want to be able to load the MP3 files into Media Monkey, and selectively add some of these to my phone. I load the files from the NAS into Media Monkey with no apparent problems. They all show up, I can see them, I can play them on my PC. Then I setup the sync for the Android device - easy to do. Then I do the sync. I get an error for each file (doesn't matter whether I do the sync from the desktop version or the mobile app). I get

There was a problem synchronizing the following item(s)
Problem
Problem while copying file
uuid://<long path to the file>
[Repeated for each file]

The error message doesn't really tell me much about what the problem is, so I'm not sure where to go from here. I must be doing something wrong, but I am not sure what, and not sure where to look. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Much appreciated.

Lars

You've added the tracks over UPnP, which does not allow to copy files (playback only).

You should add via the actual network address like \\Sharename\path

Hi MM experts, I also get this error, and considering the number of NAS drives out there with huge capacities and small hard drives, I expect it is getting more common.

Could some one please point to the working thread or tut for this, the link doesn't work that is provided here.

Kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate your problem can you give us an example what you want to use.

I have NAS and all my library is on it and usable by MMW.
