syncing to limited-space phone with audio conversion - wrong space estimation
« on: April 09, 2025, 11:41:53 am »
hi,
I am trying to sync my audio files from ape to high-bit-rate mp3 to my phone.
the conversion from ape to mp3 is done in order to reduce the required space on my phone.

however, MC doesn't let me complete the sync because it thinks I have no space - but in fact I have (though not much more).
MC asks me if I want to allow the sync process to continue by skipping files or the sync won't proceed (which, by choosing skip basically does the same - not completing the sync).
is there an overide option? or otherwise ways to resolve the issue (an answer that doesn't include using a temporary storage + copy to the phone) ?

Check the phones settings for USB. it needs to allow file transfer

The issue is not with the transfer itself.  I am able to transfer most of the content, but not all of it. I still have 128GB of usable space for a 64GB transfer but I still get the error

It would be worth trying MC33.

hi, actually, after cleaning up the playlists & media files at the handheld (for the who-knows-how-many time), and then re-syncing the issue didn't appear.

however,
I have installed & purchased the 33/34 license.
so far everything is ok
