'Delete from handheld any files not in sync list' doesn't appear to be working
petegas:
I have my Pono player internal drive set up to sync from a single smart playlist. The problem is when I change the criteria of the smartlist to remove things from the smart playlist, they don't get removed from the pono player drive when I sync it. When the smartlist gets bigger, the new files do go to the player on sync. Am I missing something? I want the files on the player to always be the same as in that playlist.
JJGR:
What i did - and i freely admit it's a bit kludgy - is i created a Playlist Group dedicated to the internal drive on the PonoPlayer, and another Playlist Group for my SD card - then i add whatever playlists (smart and dumb) to each of those playlist folders, and check the Options on sync so that on only those respective Playlists Groups is what's synced. Then after i make changes to the playlists, when i connect the player to sync i select all and delete the existing files shown in the respective playlists - then hit sync and it puts the updated version of that playlist on the player/SD card. As far as i can tell - the remove files not on sync list doesn't actually do anything whether checked or unchecked.
petegas:
I've done exactly the same thing. The problem is that by deleting all the files and then syncing, it replaces everything on the player even if you've only changed a few files - for me that's a ~100GB transfer, and takes a long time! What I've started doing is manually deleting the files from the pono player I know should be gone after updating the smart playlist contents (rather than deleting everything) - If I delete a few too many that's ok as it resyncs them as you say. But yeah, it's ugly - I really wish that feature worked. Is there a place to submit a proper bug report?
