NOMAD JUKEBOX / ZEN
SteveG:
darkAngelChild,
When you say the playlist was wiped off, do you mean the tracks themselves or the playlist? Tracks don't get added to the playlists until the end of the Synchronization process, so in your situation (player shutting down) it does not surprise me that the files are not in the playlist, but the files should still be on Zen. If this is the case, the next sync will skip the files which are on Zen, continue from there and then add everything to the playlists at the end. If the tracks were lost because Nomad choked, I think it is a Nomad issue.

Create playlists and smartlists in MC before transferring the files and then use synchronization (right click on Nomad Jukebox) to move the playlists.

Not at this time.

This cannot be implemented at this time.

Steve, I had understood your previous post as saying that this functionality had been removed for what sounded like more of a policy reason than a technical reason. Are there technical barriers to providing field mapping functionality in the handheld plugins?
SteveG:
Nolonemo,
The change is both a policy change (making the tranfer of files and synchronization more universal from player to player) and technical. MC and its interaction with Portables is now designed around a track matching scheme based on Name, Artist, Album, Genre, and Track Number. Shifting the Artist name makes this much more complicated. We will look at trying to acomodate this in the future.
Steve
Nolonemo:
Thanks, Steve, I certainly can understand the complicated factor.
darkAngelChild:
hi, thanks for the fast reply.
i hadnt made a playlist to begin with. i had simply dragged all files i wanted to move onto my player into the window for it in the action window. it then had all the files qued to go onto my handheld. after it told there was an error it wiped out this big que of files and i lost the list that had taken me hours to build.
As for matching the tracks, that would work if i only used one machine to get the files onto my zen but even then, unless i add files via the playlist each time and not just directly to the handheld by the method u provide then this wont keep track. is there no way to just have it read the list of files in the player and create a track from this or something? it can show all the files that are on it, surely it could also therefore create a playlist from them all in mc?
nolomeo, thanks for the suggestions but it sounds far far too complex and tricky for me. i simply want to be able to put files onto my zen without a lot of work and hassle. i dont want it to be a hugely complicated tricky affair. just want to get some new songs on my computer, click one or two buttons and they are on my player - quick and easy.
thanks for saying you will look into it in the future steve, that would be a huge help and greatly appreciated to make the process a relatively simple one. it would be ideal to be able to just chose what field in mc i want used on my player.
thanks again
