Ok, these are my actions:
- I created a custom field called "Played On" that contains the Last Played dates of a file in the following format : yyyyMMdd (eg 20060128)
I created a playlist "All" which contains 500 songs to be put on my iPod nano
- I created a smartlist "Not listened yet" that contains the files of the "All" playlist with an extra rule "Played On" where I check the dates to be excluded from the list.
Like this : -[Played On]=[20060127]
- In total 500 files are to be put on the iPod, the smartlist "Not Listened Yet" contains 440 songs, "All" contains 500 songs
- I connect my iPod to MC
- I click on "Sync", all 500 files from the smartlist & playlist are put on the iPod
- I play 5 files on my iPod on the 28th
- I connect my iPod to MC
- The played dates, ratings etc. are updated into MC
- I change the smartlist "Not Listened Yet" in MC to exclude the songs that are played on the 28th
-[Played On]=[20060127],[20060128]
- The smartlist is perfectly refreshed in MC and contains now 435 songs
- I click on sync
- I still have 500 files on my iPod which is ok because of the "All" playlist
- The smartlist "Not Listened Yet" has not changed on my iPod and still contains 440 songs
Has it maybe something to do with that I have the "All" playlists to sync together with the "Not Listened Yet" smartlist so that the total amount of files to transfer has not changed but only the content of the smartlist ?
If I add or remove a file from the playlist "All", the smartlist "Not Listened Yet" correctly updates on my iPod.
If I do not change the "All" playlist, the smartlist does not update on the iPod.
I hope this is clear
Thanks,
