[SOLVED] 2 way sync while maintaining directory structure
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2017 1:11 pm
I want to sync between MMW and MMA (back and forth) while maintaining the directory structure. I don't get this to work perfectly.
On the PC I have E:\Mediamonkey\Music\[directory structure]\<file> and I want it to sync to Android under SD-card\Mediamonkey\Music\[same dir structure]<same file>
When I add a file/directory on the PC, I want to get it on the same place in the directory structure on my Android (and the other way round).
What should I choose?
On Auto-Sync (--> Device): do I need to change anything there?
On Auto-Sync (--> Library): Which folder do I have to add (if any)? What should be the destination (E:\ or E:\Mediamonkey or E:\Mediamonkey\Music) ?
On Options/File Locations: what should I set in Sync Files to Music? (\<Folder>\<Filename> or \Music\<Folder>\<Filename> of \Mediamonkey\Music\<Folder>\<Filename> or ...)?
What should be the Library on the PC? Do I have to choose a Library on the Android?
If it is easier to change filenames (e.g. e:\Music or SD-card\Music), I can change anything but I want the same directory structure (on PC and Android) and sync in both directions.
A lot of questions, but I can't find it in the Wiki. And with trial and error, I got it almost working, but not perfectly.
PS: I don't need Video and other directories like Podcast/Audiobooks/Classical (also difficult to unselect, they come back each time), but that is a minor issue.
