Is it yet possible to config device sync to automatically include the full library?

This seemed not possible when I last asked back in MC14 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=56205.0 but perhaps the program has now caught up with the docs, which IIRC since I first considered MC about five years ago have mentioned this feature:

 http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Transfer_Files_to_your_Handheld/Portable_Device .

Sync Mode – All will copy all files and playlists to your device.

Thanks.

It has been possible for several versions.

Great! But where do I find this option? I don't see "Sync mode - All" or anything similar under device options. Perhaps it's under the Advanced Options mentioned at http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Handheld_Advanced_Options , but I don't see that either. All I have on a new device is:

'All Audio', 'All Images', and 'All Video' at the top right of your screenshot are the full library.

If you need more control, you create any number of Smartlists and sync them.

Not here, Matt. My library includes playlists.

I can't find any way to get a Smartlist to include all my playlists. Or any one playlist for that matter.

Maybe I'm missing something but the next line down is 'Playlists' and it has a checkbox next to it.  You would check the checkbox, and the playlists would be part of the sync.

Not automatically. That checkbox includes only the playlists currently present. It misses any playlists added subsequently. Contrast with "All audio", which does automatically include all audio added subsequently.
