I have MC running on an inaccessible server machine. It is running Library Server.
I also have MC running on my laptop, connecting as a client to the Library Server.
I plugged my iPod into the laptop and tried to sync it with files on the server. It worked, but in the process made local copies of all of the music on the laptop's hard drive. I didn't expect that, and couldn't find a setting to disable that action.
Is there such a setting? If not, what should I do to avoid this? The server also makes the files available over the network through regular Windows networking, so I could make a new local library on the laptop and point it at the files on the server. That seems kind of klutzy though. If I did it that way, would ratings work properly (that is, could I rate songs on the iPod and have the ratings propagate to both the laptop library and the server library?)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
