I just noticed this bug(?) tonight. I was looking at a song that I synced to a handheld device. It is Boston's 'Amanda' but the filename is Amanda.mp3.mp3 instead of Amanda.mp3. (For some reason the sync activity is adding an extra '.mp3' to the filename.) I can repeat this error every time, and I tried deleting songs from my handheld and checking the new ones that were copied over on the sync. They too have this problem. I have checked the original songs and looked in the tags and cannot see anything that would contribute to this.

Most of my songs do not have this double naming problem. I used a search utility and found 941 that have it though.

Is this a real bug or am I missing something?

Forgot to add I am using current version (.83) and only files dated July 31 and later are affected. Maybe a problem in the latest release?

The Handheld Sync function now includes an "Audio Filename Rules" option.

You probably have something strange in that. Set it to what you want, or make sure it is empty so that the original filename is used.

Note: I haven't checked the functionality. I'm just guessing that is the cause.

Maybe there is a real bug though: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121704.0.html

Started from few version back(have to be before 25.00.83) that if the "Audio Filename Rule" left empty at the sync to device option, the output files now will add the files extension onto the device files like as follow:

Org files on PC: test.mp3

sync device output files: test.mp3.mp3

Is there anyways to not make the naming with the files extension at the end? (same as the files on PC)

And I don't recall this happen when I sync my device a few months back also since I never put anything in the "Audio Filename Rule" anyways.

I can reproduce this.  Look for a fix next build.  Thanks for the help.
