tlongacre,
MC is currently designed to allow multiple playlists with the same name. This is a case of MC's design winning over iPod's implementation.
John (Canaro),
We have to solve this one step at a time. As of Friday you had what appeared to be a hardware problem ( the disconnect stuff) and a problem with playlists. Unless the hardware problem is solved, this could very probably effect the correct creation of the playlists. Are you still having the problem with iPod spontaneously disconnecting?
Ashley,
I regularly experience the same thing re the playlists.
When you see this, please send me the iTunesDB or try to find a pattern of how to recreate the problem.
What I'd like to know is when is a track considered as 'listened too'.
When the track is played all the way through. This is iPod's design.
What does "some portable files are not in MC data base and could not be..." message mean when synching with sync data to MC checked?
You have files on your iPod that are not in the MC database. This can happen when you transfer files to iPod, then delete them from the MC database and reimport them. This could very possibly be the cause of synching problems for you.
And, why, after synching, does the 'retreiveing file info' box run twice?
This is a result of some recent changes to the tree in MC. It should be fixed in the next MC build.
Is there a plan to sync the on-the-go playlist?
Yes, that is the plan, as is dynamic playlist support. This is a difficult project without any specs from Apple, but I am trying.
Can MC be made to autostart on ipod connection?
Maybe in the future.
Do you anticipate any synching problems with this? (Belkin)
Not sure. I don't have one yet.
Bryan,
After you see the problem, email me your iTunesDB file from the iPod and I will see if I see any problems. Are you reimporting tunes that are already on the iPod? What did you do differently between successful synch 3 and then the fourth?
9.0.76 is part of MC 9.1.305
Park,
When I plug my ipod in, even though its set to autosynch, nothing happens.
This was broken recently. The next MC build should resolve it.
If I rename a file in MC, that is also on the ipod, and then synch with the ipod, after the info has been synched from ipod to MC and error message appears, saying: Failed to update some songs...
I cannot duplicate this. Are you sure you are not reimporting any songs at the same time into MC? That woud explain the - 2 error. It would also explain why the delet files not in synch takes a long time. If you are not reimporting, are you manually renaming the song or using 'Rename files from properties'?
mcphzgig,
You should check all the playlists that you want to have on the iPod at the end of the sync before synching. If you select less than all, the files will remain but not the playlists (assuming you do not have delete files not in synch checked).
Vivvy,
More info please. Synching or drag and drop? Have you reimported tracks? Have you reinitialized?
