Greetings. New user (11.183) and first time poster.
When I attempt to Sync I get the following error:
You are attempting to transfer multiple tracks with duplicated information.
Would you like to remove the duplicates and continue with the transfer?
Duplicates (56 tracks):a_big_long_complicated_list_of_information_on_songs<too many items to display>
<YES> <NO> buttons
What does this mean, exactly? What exactly is "duplicated information" (as opposed to duplicate files)?
I searched the archives and found two mentions of this error
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=32630.0http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=32624.0neither with satisfactory explanations.
Here's the context: I have ~250GB of audio (98%+ of it lossless - WMA, FLAC) on my file server (9,316 files according to MC).
I want to be able to have a local (on my primary computer, my laptop) copy of this data (downsampled to MP3 - my laptop drive isn't that big!) for use straight off the laptop as I travel and also so I can sync all or part of the collection from the laptop to various portable music devices.
I have created a "device" which is a directory on my laptop file system.
The error is completely reproducible (I've done it probably five times). I Recheck Sync to make sure everything is kosher, then I Sync, and after about ten minutes of "Waiting..." status it comes up with this error. It's always 56 files. There's never ANYTHING in the target directory (device). I've been wiping that relgiously, just in case.
The files in question are definitely not duplicated on the server either. The only pattern I can see in the list of files is that the combination of album names and file names and whatnot seem "long" - but that's just pure arbitrary conjecture on my part.
I've had MC freeze a number of times when trying to do the full Sync (I tested it first on < 100 files and it worked fine), but it's running now (it'll take a couple of days by my estimate).
Any guidance appreciated on this error.
Thanks,
Doody
