V3.0.3.1148: MM doesn't synchronize some files

Post by Crack »

MM doesn't send some mp3s to my iriver clix2 (MTP). All files that aren't sent have in their artist's or album's name characters that are illegal in directory and file names (album: ".hack//SIGN - OST1").

Sync trancks to is set to "\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Title>" what resolves eg. to "\Music\Emily Bindiger\.hack//SIGN - OST1\The World.mp3".

I looked some more into this and I was finally able to synchronize my files when I removed dots at the beginning of album's and artist's names.

I have another problem: autoplaylists (based on author and vote) appear ok in MM-tree, but synching them with a 4G Lexar Usb-pen, MM copies only songs with empty comment.

Another synch problem: repeating auto-synch (with no changes), every time MM adds from 4 to 10 files (and there are 1.2G free on usb-pen)

I think that must be not the cause, but a coincidence with a causal factor such as ... something in the filename?

I think I've seen that twice on my ZEN, but not pinned down the circumstances. Perhaps MM or even device is unrecordedly changing a filename on the way to the destination, so then getting false match with the synclist. You could manually check the destination filename.

No, perhaps the point is another: what if there are more than 1 valid rules for a single song ? It seems to go only in 1 (auto)playlist.

Songs I saw to be synched without comments, actually were taken by a vote-based rule; when I put a comment, it went in a playlist comment-based and not in the vote-based one.

(on this Lexr 4G USB-Pen I don't use Playlists)

P.S. Is there a place where I can see the temporary synch-list ?
P.P.S. I've tried WMLog.exe: it creates the contenent text of the USB-Pen, but has problem to save it (seem stop on a not ascii filename)...no big problem: I can copy&paste the text in notepad...
