I have been using MMW for quite some time. I have set up playlists of various types for favorite tracks and genres and other mixes. But in general I also have a playlist that controls what full albums I want to sync. So when I get a new album I add to that playlist so that I don't have to go into settings and check each new album every time I add one. Just add it to my sync playlist.

So I am having trouble recently as I have been upgrading some of my mp3 tracks from 128 or 192k (back when storage was at a premium) and converting to 320k or FLAC. So I remove the old files from my computer (and automatically, MMW removes from any playlists, including my sync playlist) and then re-sync, expecting those files to be deleted. But it doesn't happen. Files remain on the device and in the library.

I do have the box checked to delete files in the portable device settings. Any unselected library files. And I have confirm deletion set to YES just to be safe. I know that the deletion function is working because I have unchecked other playlists and those playlists are removed. But the files remain in that case, because they are included in other playlists, specifically my main sync playlist. I would rather not uncheck my sync playlist as that would then delete a big majority of my library and have to copy it back over again when I add the playlist back.

So for now, I go into my device and manually delete the files from the library. Then re-sync with the new 320k files. I would prefer to avoid this extra step.

Any advice? If it's something simple, you won't hurt my feelings.

You need to set delete to all media files as the files removed the Library are not delete from devices with the unselected library files.
