I'm still rocking a 2004 Creative S750 system with the DDTS-100 7.1 upmixing decoder. Music just doesn't sound as good (at home) without it! And the sub lasted all the way to last year without needing repaired. Rare for it to last that long!

But damn it can do wonders with its upmixing by frequencies feature...I'm hard pressed to find anything that works quite like it hardware-wise. I know there's software, but this is so much more accessible. No fiddling. Just hope I cam pass it along to my grandchildren...

Hush, please somebody may hear us, bragging arround, will tell us "OK, Boomer!"

Yeah Creative was really creative at the time. I still have my '80s Gründig Power AMP and 4x 300W RMS 4 way speakers (15" Bass) that I can't wait to plug again (if I divorce then you will know I did it). Kids are starting to interest in very very loud music listening. Few months ago I played my 10 years old daughter J. S. Bach BWV 1041 and 1042 and Vivaldy 4 seasons at 70% power (Still empty Room without furniture in attic of 850Sqf clear space) and she cried how clear and powerful is unlike hers Altec Lansing 35W 2.1 System that can't fill the room and you can feel sound vibrations in stomach with each note.

We should stop, went way off topic.

Hi,
I totally relate, I was like you regarding all of my music with me, but once I ripped my own 6k+ CDs and 10k+ of My local radio CDs over the years I went way over 6TB of FLAC files, then I discovered benefits of playing FLAC in Car and having Android Headunit (not all Chinese are cheap and bad), paired with good Sub AMP and quality set of 3-Way speakers and 2 additional Tweets I noticed that same time I have around me 4 Devices that can play music, so buying and maintaining all of my music with me was pointless. So I went with hundreds of Auto playlists that rotate my favorite music and sync them within 30 Min. I also have private setup for radio stream in case I would like to listen my MM choice of music while not home (Auto-DJ) then there at least bunch of other family members devices that like fresh music, daughters Violin piano companion tracks, ...

End result is system that I maintain which leaves most of SDcards for pics, videos, family advetures, DASHCam DVR, .... while at any time I have 3-10 ready playlists for my driving moods. I also evade having listening music while walking around city (had few close encounters on crosswalks) and I also like to feel the sound of City I am in walking and rest my ears from constant wearing of headphones (which I have on most of time on while at home working).

Sorry to say, but glory days of iPod Classic or small Fitness MP4 players are done for me. I rarely cycle nowdays (when younger I was cycling 50-100km a day) when without earplugs (I had ones that have mic in for cycling where car horns were not filtered and were ridiculously expensive and molded to my ear canal shape). So really for me it is better to have 50 tracks I want listen while not at home than 500 that will not listen or will annoy me.

Oh, it's not the phone that's the issue (though I appreciate the tip), I just recall the general comparison that wifi sync is slower than USB. And I have a TON of files.
The background scans have also been pretty fast ever since I was finally told that while MMW supports m4a, the MMA issues were due to the OS not supporting (which is why I jumped on the MM 'band'wagon to begin with.)
Both phone and the card and *brand* new as my whole goal was to have all my music with me all the time like the old iPod classic days. So when I saw that 1TB cards were available...(AND the card slots were being removed!!) I jumped on it.

When they work, the features are incredible. It's time I made this switch. And looks like they just released a new MMA beta to fix the Metadata issue. Fingers crossed!

Hi,
Hmmm, what about this: Turn the phone off -> Eject SDCard and do one batch -> Insert SDcard -> Turn Phone On and see if that helps and make things faster. Turning off phone before removing/reinserting SDCard will in most cases trick phone to not reindex.

Personally on any portable device I do not keep more than 500 tracks and do constant rotation of fresh tracks. But again it is me.

Well excluding some 30-50 that I use for group/people ringtones.

Okay, but even with 700Gb left of files to transfer? (Doing it in batches so I'm not without a phone for an entire week/weekend.)

BTW our tests proved that after initial USB sync (once successful) WiFi Sync is much faster to update and make devices in Sync.

Def related but not sure exactly the same conditions as mine. I am using auto-conversion, however. But with USB. I have too many files to use wifi sync, yet.

Either way, I wrote a detailed description with a couple of logs included in a new support ticket for this. I hope it's looked at and read carefully.

FYI: Tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18371

And now it's not syncing tags in either direction! Tried a different album. Added some zzz's at the end of WWA version. Didn't update on MMW. Then looked after "sync" at MMA again. Didn't even overwrite the updated tags this time. Tried the reverse...added some ooo's at the end of the same album on PC. Synced. No change. The MMA version of this album now has zzz's after the title, and the MMW version has ooo's. Both remain unchanged and unsynced.

I've also been updating the MMA tags all day while out of the house. The pc hadn't even been turned on since yesterday.

I'm only using the latest beta of both, AND I tested by changing the tags on MMA a few times a few minutes ago then watching as every time these tags were overwritten by the pc tags which I didn't change.

Please check the system clock on both devices as Sync looks at the newest edit.

Make sure you only edit on MMA and then Sync. Also which versions of MMA and MMW?

And I am using MMW & MMA to edit the tags. The edits on MMA are undone when I synced to pc today.
