Duplicates

<< < (2/2)

Ok. Some progress and thank you. I thought sync put them on the player. Did not know that transfer was the final step. Maybe drag and drop is better? I tried to make a new library of all iTunes but PW couldn't play them. There was a red icon showing missing file yet the file was there and played in iTunes. Now "my device" is only showing a backup of the stuff I removed from the player when it had too many duplicates. "My Device" doesn't find any iTunes folders anymore though it used to.
Bottom line is I loaded songs onto the player successfully but I got the "not properly ejected" warning (I think before it had finished the transfer) but I hadn't touched it. Should I delete the songs on the player before trying again to avoid the duplicate problem again?
Sorry about all this.

JimH:
The iTunes file problem is known.  It's aiff files.  It should be fixed by a firmware update soon.

roqpyl:
Thanks. I need to chill out a bit I think being as this is all still pretty new, eh? I was wondering if there is a fix in mind to enable jumping to the "M's" for example so it isn't necessary to scroll through the "my device" lists over and over.

Let's tackle this one first.  Please explain exactly how you are going about this, just list the steps you take (1,2,3, etc.).  Then I can try the same steps on my computer.

For example, here's what I would do if I wanted to import songs I usually play in iTunes into PMW:

1. On the main menu, go to File / Library / Import
2. Select "Import a single folder"
3. On the Media Import dialog, make sure "Audio" is checked.
4. Click the Browse button and navigate in Finder to the folder where the songs are located and click the Open button.
5. Click the Finish button and let PMW import these files.  It won't actually move the song files anywhere, it just analyzes information about them and adds them to the PMW database (library).
6. Test playback of the songs in PMW.

? It worked fine. Yesterday, using the same procedure (I believe), files loaded but it said there was missing audio. There was a red circle icon indicating the problem. I don't know but it seems ok. Thanks for the guidance and your patience.
