Why are my files getting renamed?
« on: June 07, 2010, 05:24:09 pm »

I am syncing some playlists to a location on my laptop that is set up as a portable device in JRiver on my server.
Everything syncs okay but for some reason the files are getting renamed with some seemingly arbitrary number tacked on. 

Before: 3OH!3 - 03 - Don't Trust Me.mp3
After: 3OH!3 - 03 - Don't Trust Me - 1552.mp3

Before: Blue October - 01 - You Make Me Smile.mp3
After: Blue October - 01 - You Make Me Smile - 3600.mp3

When I sync to my android phone that is setup similarly this doesn't happen.

Any idea what is going on?

More testing:  I tried syncing from two different machines and they both do this but with different numbers tacked on.  So I deleted the files and resync'd from the same machine and get a different number appended each time I transfer the file.

What is this number and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks!

Okay - I think its the fact I was using a library server?  Does that make sense?

I copied over the library files to this laptop, mapped the drives so they matched and performed my sync - this time no numbers were appended.
So with a local library things transferred as expected.  When syncing using a library server I get these seemingly random numbers appended to my file names.

In build 58:
Fixed: When syncing content from Library Server to a handheld, extra unneeded numbers could end up in the final filename that were used during download time.
