Sync a playlist to another PC [#19820]

Post by Rob_S »

Is there any way to do this?

I do not see network folders under send-to, and other pcs are not listed as devices that I can see.

I don't really want my entire collection on the new PC, but would like to copy over the tracks that are in certain playlists.

I know I can use copy paste, but this puts them all in one single folder. Maybe that will have to suffice.

Under Devices & Services in the Media Tree you can a Storages and Services which can include a network location. You can then Sync to it.

OK, so I found that, and managed to create a folder location for the networked computer - PCname

I created a file location for music thus "\PCname\Music\<Album>\<Filename>

I selected some tracks and used the sendto sync option, and it looks like it is copying files, but nothing appears in the destination

Any ideas?

Have you tried Sync from the Device Profile?

Yes, I did, and selected an album containing just a couple of tracks for the sync. Similarly, nothing appeared in the music folder of the destination.

I actually searched the entire destination pc in case it had put the files in some other music folder, and so far nada.

I can confirm it fails: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19820

You can used a Mapped Drive to Sync to the network share. That workaround works.
