Sync Device - Delete from Handheld Not Working?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Magic_Randy:
I'd have to do more testing, but I don't think it will delete tracks if there are not new tracks to sync.

I added some files as well now and indeed had a number of songs listed as going to be removed, but the same songs as going to be added (while they were still on the card). Not syncing and restarting PMW and rechecking again gave results without files marked for removal. It guess there are still problems around syncing.

Magic_Randy:
I'll do more testing this weekend.

I tested in on 20.0.82 and it worked fine, but in that test I was doing a combination of adding & deleting.

I'm using smartlists. I modified my smartlist to remove things, at the same time my data was changing (content had been added to the library that was included in my smartlist conditions). In that case everything was perfect. My new tracks were added and the things that should have been removed were removed.

My guess is this scenario still works fine in 20.0.83. It is probably not deleting, however, if there are not new tracks to add first.

Very possible, in my tests (that worked) I was always adding new tracks also.

And of course, you don't want to add new tracks first, that will break when the card is almost full.  Any sync process should do the deleting first and then the adding. 

Magic_Randy:
Did some testing. Looks like it works fine.

I did add and delete. That worked.

I did add only. That worked.

I did delete only. That worked.

These tests were using 20.0.83.

My tests were using a 128gb MicroSD. Not internal memory. But the delete function did work for internal memory in a prior test using 20.0.82.

It does look like adds are done before delete. That could be a problem if you are fully utilizing the volume. But I did not do much of testing in this area. It may be in some sequence such as album name or something and not adds before delete. I'd have to do more testing to be sure.
