Synchronizing your handheld ..

(1/4) > >>

MarSies:
Would like to sync "all" my music to my iHP-140 but with a few rules. All 5 star rated files with a conversion 320kb MP3, 4 star like 256kb MP3.

The 0 star rated songs no conversion. In between all sorts of conversion like "Latin" music with a good conversion and pop with less "resolution". Maybe this is done with smartlists but I don't know how.
Also a question, when is a song overwritten by MC if it's already there. Based upon which rules?

On the other hand I think that more then smartlists are needed for something like this. Any good ideas.

Marsies,

Try starting with a smartlist with the following rule...

[Rating]==4,5 [Bitrate]==256,320 and then play around until you get what you are  after. You could also create separate lists. Almost certainly whatever grouping of files you are after can be created with smartlists. If not smartlists, static playlists can be created for the files you want.

In regards to the overwrite of files, it depends a little on what player and what tag info it supports. Generally, files will not overwrite. If a file has the same Name, Arist, Album, Genre and Track Number information, the file will not be sent in the first place.

Matt,

I tried your rule but it does not work. Have to figure out a few things. So far a few things went wrong which I'm not to blame for.

[*]Why o why do I have to click away a file deletion error when synchronizing (happens very often) :([*]MC crashes when trying to sync the iHP-140  >:([*]It tells me that there are file duplicates and shows them. But what can I do besides clicking continue, I think that other options are needed :-\[/list]
I will try to go through all the smartlist options because that section is new to me. Anyway I don't think that the things above have anything to do with my lack of smartlist knowledge. The feature looks good though. Eventhough configuring a smartlist is not very logic. I mean the clicking of buttons and stuff, not the usable rules, they are cool!

SteveG:
Marsies,

The file duplicates message is telling you that you are trying to synchronize multiple files with the same Name, Artist, Album, Genre, and Track Number information. It gives you the names of the duplicated information so you can resolve the issue either by resolving the ambiguity in the information between the files, or by creating playlists that do not have multiple files with the same information. If you do not resolve this, and you have 'Delete unselected files' selected, you may have files deleted from your player during sync which might explain the file deletion error.

Please elaborate on the crash during sync. What happens and when? Are there any messages or errors?

Steve
