MC iTunes Synchronizer (using MC with an iPhone or iPod Touch) [v6.0.2]
lmurawski:
You would save time by not deleting all of the songs from iTunes. That should only be required when you delete tracks in MC. I find it better to prune the orphans in iTunes before syncing.
These are the steps I'm currently following:
1. Sync iPhone with iTunes
2. Delete MC playlists from iTunes
3. Run MCiS and sync MC with iTunes
4. Reselect Playlists in iTunes
5. Sync iPhone with iTunes
I find myself using JR Remote or Panel a bit more now as well.
jack wallstreet:
Thank you Imurawski. Much appreciated.
I am also using JRemote much more (with Sonos and without). I find the Panel to be much too slow and clunky for daily use. (slow is the biggest problem).
JimH:
It shouldn't be slow. Please start a thread with more details.

I wanted to provide an update on MCIS with current program version since for me this key program as I use an Iphone and others may use it too. The below may be know to many, but in case it isn't, here is one way to make MCIS work.
As posted by Imurawski (a few messages above) MCIS 6.0.2 still can be made to work with the Iphone and MC, at least with IOS 12.4.2 and MC 12.0.113. Imurawski's procedures likely work fine, but here is what I do to sync (basically, it is a start from scratch every time process instead of an updated to selected playlists)
1. Delete all playlists and songs from Itunes library
2. Update Itunes library by reimporting every song file
3. Run MCIS (first clicking rebuild for the desired playlist(s) (folder) twice - (to address an apparent old flaw in MCIS - may not be there anymore but I still do it)
4. Run Iphone "sync" with no songs selected (that will automatically be the default if you do steps 1-3) - that clears Iphone of music
5. Run Iphone sync again after selecting all playlists (or whatever you want on Iphone)
For my system, this takes a number of hours, but is basically unattended so not a lot of work.
Absinthe:
The main problem with third party apps like this is they don't address the problem of file compatibility. IOS products don't recognize FLAC format files and the third party apps typically don't transcode the files during synch. I refuse to move my library to ALAC or some other format that IOS deems worthy so Ill stick with MediaMonkey
