[REQ] Start Time / Stop Time and Syncing

[ve4grm]

So I understand from reading other posts that start time/stop time for songs is only used by MM for Windows, but is it possible (and I'm just missing it) to have MM5 cut a song in the appropriate spots when syncing to a device? Similar to what happens when it converts formats for players that don't support a given format?

So like if I have the first 5 seconds skipped in the "Start Time" entry, it will cut the file and sync a file that's 5 seconds shorter instead?

Or do I need to cut up the files myself, manually?

No, MediaMonkey can't modify files like that.

Damn. Well, thanks.
Time to put it in a feature suggestion, I guess.

Mediamonkey lets you add a Start Time and Stop Time for tracks, allowing us to cut out long intros, outros, etc. This is great!

Unfortunately, it is not recognized by other devices.

I would love an option (global setting, or just a checkbox under each device's Sync profile) similar to the format conversion setting (where MediaMonkey will convert a file to an appropriate format if the original format isn't supported by the destination device) that would tell MediaMonkey to trim files according to their start/stop time when syncing to a particular device.

I get that this wouldn't be as simple as just dropping a checkbox into the menu, but I'd appreciate the consideration!

Thanks.

Hi, startTime/stopTime values are synced to Apple devices (iPod,iPhone) and Android devices but then it depends on particular player to use the values. Which device and device player youbare using?

Which device and device player youbare using?

Not the OP, but tested ist on MMA, latest build .0960, on Android 10. Doesn't seem to skip anything, songs were full played.

Same songs in MMW are fine.

I too would really like MMA to support start and stop times. I use these to eliminate chat between tracks on live albums. Also in a few cases to split tracks that are ripped as a single track but actually contain 2-3 songs, usually separated by silence.

Is this feature in plan?

Thanks, Mike
