Is it possible to copy playlists from the iPod to MC11 or is there a file(s) that I can copy from one install of MC11 to another install of MC11 to move smartlists/playlists between two machines?
Here is my problem... I'm trying to coordinate 2 computers and 1 iPod. Both machines are running 11.0.234. One computer is at home and contains all my mp3 files, it is my 'master' install of MC11. The second computer is at work. This machine does not have any mp3 files at all.
All I am trying to accomplish is to use MC11 at work to interface with my iPod from my desktop, keep the Last Play date in sync while preserving the smartlists/playlists on my iPod.
As I understand it, to update the Last Play date on my iPod from MC11 I need to do a sync. When I do a sync at work to update the Last Play date on the iPod it will replace the playlists/smartlists on my iPod with smartlists/playlists defined in MC11. I did read "Added a check box option to opt out of sending playlist info on sync to portables for players that are very slow in doing this." but I have yet to find that option.
When I connect the iPod to my machine at home and sync it, the reverse happens. The playlists/smartlists on my iPod are replaced by those defined in MC11 on my home machine.
Consequently the playlists/smartlists on my iPod are always changing, depending upon where I last did a sync. It would seem I have to manually manage my playlists/smartlists on both machines keeping them identical in order to keep things consistent on my iPod.
Is the above is normally behavior or am I going about this all wrong? Any help is appreciated.
