Why does "My Device" have 7(!) copies of Kiko when iTunes media has just one? All 7 show the same source. I just did another sync after recovering files deleted from "My Device" after discovering delete means trash, not remove from JRiver listing. How do I start over? Do I delete from "Library or My Device?

JohnT:
When you delete from the PonoPlayer storage listed under My Device, you delete the file from the PonoPlayer's file system. 

When you delete a file in your library, it gives you the choice to:
1. just delete the entry in the library
2. delete the entry and also move the file to trash
3. delete the entry and also remove the file entirely from the computer's file system

roqpyl:
Thanks for the help. Somewhere somehow I deleted a ton of iTunes tunes in ponoworld and I still don't know how. I for sure wasn't offered the choices you mention but have since that occurrence.  Thanks for clarifying this.

roqpyl:
And what is the difference between "clear library" and the different delta options? Sorry if I'm slow to this but I am having an awful time of it. And what is "in queue"? I know what the word means but not the context here. I just died to reload ponoplayer with 8000+ songs from iTunes and after syncing the player had 184 songs only. Really making me nuts. Library and my device had thousands of tunes both.

JohnT:
"Clear library" will do just that, clear out all media entries in your current library.  It doesn't do anything to the actual files that the database entries point to.  You can always make a library backup prior to clearing the library (on the same menu).   PMW automatically creates periodic backups.

Not sure where you're seeing "in queue", but if it's in the file list for the PonoPlayer device, it means the tracks are queued up for transfer to the device.  When you click the Transfer button they'll be copied to the device.

So you are trying to load songs onto PonoPlayer.  Let's start simple and see if we can tell what's going wrong. 

1. Find one song in PMW that you'd like to put on the device: click on the Audio section in the left-hand tree view, then click on Files. Type part of the track name into the search box in the upper right and it should show up in the list.
2. Try playing it first in PMW: double click it in the list
3. If it plays OK, drag it onto the device and you should see the track "in queue" when you select the device.
4. Now click the transfer button and it should be copied to the device.
