In the Beta 10 posts, Someone need to change:
"IMPORTANT -- This build includes a reworked handheld system. Only IPOD and WMDM players currently work. Tread lightly if handheld support is important to you."
...to...
"WARNING-- This build includes a reworked handheld system. Only IPOD and WMDM players currently work. YOU MAY LOSE YOUR SOURCE FILES."
I sure did. Perhaps someone can help me out here. I got a new 512 SD card. Put it in my reader...transferred a file to it in explorer...worked...then deleted the file. Opened MC10 (.69), created a smartlist (512mb, 4+ stars), clicked Handheld player..."h Drive" (my card)...drug the smartlist files to the *action* window...hit transfer. Man-o-man did is zip through them all...I mean fast.
Here are the problems:
1. There are no files on the card.
2. The source files were DELETED from my machine.
Now, before all of this, I did a search on the forum to find out what was meant by "WMDM Players"...all I found (other than posts containing the above warning line) was one post asking for a clarification of WMDM and how we should *know* if our player supports it. So, I figured, if MC *sees* the dirve, it must be working. Also, if MC could possibly DELETE my files, there would be a WARNING mentioning this and not a "Tread lightly if handheld support is important to you." I mean, it is important, but if it wouldn't transfer, no biggie...right? Plus, then I'd know if my *handheld* supported WMDM.
Well, I guess an SD card reader (which for some reason is listed under handheld) doesn't support WMDM. Worse, not only does it not work, but it, for some reason, DELETES your source files.
My support questions:
1. Why in the world, even when failing, would MC delete the source files?
2. Where does it delete them to?
3. How can I get them back?
4. How can I build a smartlist to show me all of the files that were deleted? I guess I best start trying to revcover them...sadly, I paid for most of my collection.
BTW, I assume MC *knows* whether the handheld supports WMDM or not...shouldn't you disable functions that might damage the enduser's system?
I am pretty paniced. Any help is greatly appreciated.
