False "Duplicate" status obstructs Sync
chrisjj:
In case it helps other users, the workaround I'm using for this false duplicate status is to kludge the track number, this being a field that is included in the match key but not important to my device setup. I do this using this Mp3tag action:
Format value "TRACK": $replace(%_filename%,-,)
Since my filenames are unique and of the form 00008637207120-1-1.wma, this action sets the track number to a unique value e.g. 0000863720712011. Media Jukebox mis-displays this as -2147483648 for all filenames here, but does seem to use the true value for the match key, since this does cure the false duplicate status.
MrC:
The real solution for this is item 11 on my wish list (see below).

Thanks, but that says:
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you
MrC:
I forgot, its in the beta board. Here's the line item:
11. Sync: Include [Disc #] in MatchKeyExpression for audio
Same-named tracks at the same track # on multi-disc albums prevents synchronization on HH. Include [Disc #] in MatchKeyExpression, or allow it to be modified so users can amend.
And there is a link to a thread:
--- Quote from: MrC ---The current sync expression fragment used for duplicate detection of non-images (eg. audio) is:
[Name] Clean([Artist], 1) [Album] [Genre] FormatNumber([Track #, 0]) [Media Type]
Some albums have second (or third, ...) disc's that are identical to the first disc in terms of Track #/Name (and of course Album, Genre, Artist and Media Type), so MC marks all but one track as Duplicates and does not transfer them. Consider Fleetwood Mac's Tusk special edition:
Disc 1 Track 3: Think About Me
Disc 2 Track 3: Think About Me
I can see that the converted files (mp3's) have a [Discnumber] tag, but am not sure if MC is able to compare [Discnumber] against [Disc #]
Would it be possible to include [Disc #] as part of MatchKeyExpression ?

Thanks. Including [Disc #] won't solve the instance I reported here - the 'duplicates' had no Disc #. I really hope you'll take the second option - "allow [MatchKeyExpression] to be modified so users can amend" since that will solve my and every other instance of false duplicates. And I think it would be good to take the first too - add [Disc #] to the default.
