Hey --- I'm running the most current Archos firmware and the most recent (3.03) version of Media Monkey. I finally decided to give MM another try now that the Archos 605 will accept .pla playlists.
I deleted my library, erased all music and playlists from the device, then did a sync of my music library. The sync went fine (9500+ songs), but when I fired up one 400-song playlist, about 15 songs were missing. Some were on the player but corrupt, but many others were not on the player. Upon reconnecting, MM added about 200 more songs, including about 5 from the missing playlist. Why werent' these picked up the first time? Why do some songs, which play fine on my PC, not syncing? Is it common in large libraries for MM to skip songs? Should I use USB HD mode for a LARGE sync like this, then use MTP / Windows Media mode for maintainence syncing (and syncing playcounts, etc)?
MM is definitely using the WMDM driver for the Archos, which is set in Windows Media mode.
Since I had the initial problem, I erased the player again and did a 2nd sync. This time, I was missing about the same % of songs, but they were all different songs than before! It seems like every sync is incomplete.
