MC iTunes Synchronizer (using MC with an iPhone or iPod Touch) [v6.0.2]
jack wallstreet:
A fix would be wonderful.
lmurawski:
No luck.
jack wallstreet:
I am still a faithful user of MCIS as I haven't found any other practical way to update my iPhone. I am using iTunes 12.5.x since there were problems with syncing using MCIS with versions above 12.5.x. I know we are up to 12.8 on iTunes. Does anyone know whether the problems with syncing still exist with these higher versions.
lmurawski:
Yes, the issue still is present latest version of iTunes.
A work around that I have found is to delete the playlists from iTunes before syncing with MCiS. You'll need to reselect the playlists for your devices before syncing them. Since I only sync the single MCPlaylists to my iPhone, this a fairly painless.
You will also need to delete orphaned songs from iTunes before syncing with MCiS. (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2666386) A trick for deleting orphans in iTunes is to create a playlist with all of your songs, the orphaned items will not be added to this playlist. Then create a smart list to show the songs that are not in the playlist created earlier. And delete away.

Thanks very much. For my use, I may effectively do something like that anyway these days. It takes hours, but not a lot of effort
1. I delete all songs and playlists from itunes
2. I import all music back into itunes
3. I sync without restablishing the playlists (about 400 MC playlists). This deletes the iphone playlists
4. I resync after checking the all playlists check box (main playlist) in itunes
Based on what you (Imurawski) are saying, if I stick with this process (or yours), I should be okay even when I update to 12.8 (although no good reason to do so yet). Thanks.
