I also posted this in the portable forum
It appears that when transferring files MC uses the library size to determine how much can fit on the portable.
I told my son to use the synchronization feature to simplify maintaining the songs on his portable. So he created a playlist with 35 songs which according to MC is 808.2 MB. The bulk of the songs are in APE format. The Lyra has a 512MB SD card installed. MC is setup to convert always to MP3 ABR with 192kbps target rate.
When he tries to synchronize he gets an error saying that the files won't fit when actually after conversion they only take up about 170MB.
I realize that unless MC actually does the conversion it can't determine how much space will be consumed but shouldn't MC at least transfer what it can until it actually runs out of space. The playlist could then be adjusted accordingly.
Using MC 11.0.293
Is this something that could be added to MC11 easily. The way it works now as explained above is a real pita.
