MC iTunes Synchronizer (using MC with an iPhone or iPod Touch) [v6.0.2]

Loaded Tracks vs. Analysed tracks:
During the sync process the MCiS loads roughly 21.000 tracks from the MC library. But it only analyses about 8.000 of which several are beeing synchronized subsequently. Why does the software loads more tracks than it analyses?
Thanks

I've been having lots of issues with iTunes Synchronizer and iTunes Match. Specifically when iTunes Syncronizer decides an existing file is 'new' and deletes the old file and adds it back again. When that happens, iTunes stops and asks if you want to delete the file from iTunes match for EVERY file. I've also ended up with random 'duplicate' files in iTunes Match after a sync. The only way I have been able to use it 100% successfully is to do the following:
Turn off iTunes Match.
Run iTunes Syncronizer.
Turn on iTunes Match.

Anyone else have issues with iTunes Syncronizer wiping out ratings on tracks? I've yet to figure out where or why it is happening, but frequently I lose ratings when sycnronizing. Sometimes it is just a few tracks, but sometimes it is thousands. I keep a backup of my ratings in a custom field, so getting them back only takes a few minutes - just trying to figure out why this is happening.
Some additional info that might help:
I have a mix of FLAC/APE, MP3, MP4 (from iTunes), and a few AC3/DTS tracks. I use the 'sync to handheld' method for everything but the MP4 tracks to create/copy an MP3 for iTunes so for those the actual file that iTunes sees/uses is not the original file in my MC library. The MP4 tracks are in a shared location (both use the same file).
I don't listen to much music on my only i-device that syncs to that library directly, it is mainly used for podcasts (handled directly in iTunes) - so I my go a couple of months at a time between syncing libraries.

MCiS will only iterate through tracks that are in the specified playlist or viewscheme. It will only cache the details of tracks with a file extension that is set in Settings. So it may iterate through many more tracks than it actually syncs.

It may be that MCiS doesn't co-exist with iTunes Match. I'm a little skeptical that MCiS would delete files from your library. It will fix broken links, but iTunes would have to be mistakenly reporting broken links. In this case deselect the option if you have it set. I suggest reviewing your settings or sticking with your workaround - i don't believe Apple expose Match functionality via the SDK.

What is the 'sync to handheld' option? The file name and location as set in the iTunes library must be exactly the file name and location as set in the MC library, otherwise MCiS can not match library entries (unless you are using alternative iTunes file keys in Settings).
