Well, I did my test. Maybe it works – maybe there is a problem.
1) I took an iPod with 13,000 tracks on it. I made sure it was 100% in sync
2) I made the change to the .xml file.
3) I tries a sync but it was 100% in sync (as it should have been)
4) I changed the lyrics on 1 song
5) I did a sync – MC showed 1 track to sync (as it should have been)
6) I checked the iPod – the changed lyrics showed up
7) I changed the lyrics back & did another sync
Again a single track was sync’d (as it should have been)
9) I checked the iPod and everything was perfect.
Before throwing the party, I decided to bring my wife’s iPod up to current.
1) It showed 12000+ tracks to sync – it should have shown ~100 (same as my step 1 above)
2) It looks like the same problem Larry was reporting.
3) Other than the iPod name – both my wife’s and my iPod should have been the same ?
So, I plugged my iPod back in, and MC said it was 100% in sync.
My next step will be to do a full sync on my wife’s iPod to see if I can get that to work.
So – I think this solution works – I just don’t know why it worked on 1 iPod and not the other.
