Rename SD Cards

Post by rrfpacker »

I have a few SD cards I want to sync differently. I changed the name of a couple to start the process, but MM sees the name change without seeing a different card. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm using a card holder, could that be the issue?

Does Windows see them under their different names (wasn't aware that you could rename them individually)?

I believe I've read once that the card reader is the device ID for MediaMonkey which would explain what you're seeing. However that was long ago, so I'm not certain on this.

MM "sees" all SD Cards and holders as one

Post by rrfpacker »

I have numerous Sansa Clip+ that I bought because of the Micro SD card slot and for the express purpose of having multiple cards with different content to "plug and play". It looks like MM sees any SD card and its holder the same, even if I change the card name. I have used four different cards and two different card holders and MM sees them as whatever I last named the card.

Does anyone know of a work around for this? It certainly defeats the purpose of having 15 different cards and being able to auto-sync quickly.

Best bet is to put in a support ticket to be sure it gets addressed

Hi there, I have experienced the same problem with my SD cards. I tried to use them but MM seem to view various SD cards with the last time I named the card only. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi,
I have been using Media Monkey Gold since 2008. I have always had the problem referred to in this thread. Whatever SD card I insert MM displays it with the name of the last SD card to be sync'd and more importantly it defaults to the autosync settings for the previous card used. This is very annoying as I own a mixture of 32Gb and 64Gb cards. All my SD cards have different names and when inserted Windows Explorer immediately identifies the card correctly.
If I go into MM \ Tools \ Options \ Portable/Audio Devices all my cards are listed correctly but this seems to be ignored when auto syncing.
Come on Media Monkey this should be fixed by now.

Thanks for the reply Ludek. My Media monkey Gold is version 4.1.5.1719 and it confirms it is the current version so lets hope I am offered the newer version sooner rather than later.
