Option "Delete from handheld any files not in sync list" do not work in MC 20.0.100.

1. Two playlist are succesfully synchronized to the handheld.
2. In MediaCenter some songs are deleted from the playlists previously sinchrorized.
3. Click in the "Recheck Sync" option.
4. In MC none song is marked to be deleted from the handheld in the next sync.
5. To enable the next sync a song is added to a playlist.
6. After run the next sync only the new song was added to the handheld.  Zero songs are deleted in the handheld.

This is a fragment of the log:

I can see that MC is using diffent paths. 

In MC "Audio Path:" option is set to "MUSIC\[Album Artist]\[Album]\"
When MC analyze deletion is using "MUSIC\[Album]\"

Example from the log:

'Sony Walkman\MUSIC\Alberto Escobar\Ciudadano del Mundo\Alberto Escobar_Canta mi canto.mp3'
VS
'MUSIC\Ciudadano del Mundo\'

Where:

AlbumArtist=Alberto Escobar
Album=Ciudadano del Mundo
NameFileSong=Alberto Escobar_Canta mi canto.mp3

I hope this information can be usufull.

Now I have 20.0.132 and the problem persist.  However I have determined that this error happen when the field [Album Artist] is used as part of "Audio Path" paremeter value for the handheld.  If the field is replaced, for example, with [Artist] the problem is avoided.

Example.

Not use:
MUSIC\[Album Artist]\[Album]\

Use:
MUSIC\[Artist]\[Album]\

If you use [Album Artist] Media Center sync (copy) correctly in the handheld using the path "MUSIC\[Album Artist]\[Album]\" but the field [Album Artist] is omited when a file is located to be deleted, MC use "MUSIC\[Album]\".

Maybe try using [Album Artist (auto)] instead.  [Album Artist] is an optional field.  So it *can* be blank.  Maybe a blank value is confusing the logic somewhere.  [Album Artist (auto)] is always populated, so it should never be blank.

Not sure if that will help, but it's worth a try.

Yes, please give blgentry's advice a shot and report back.  Thanks.

The [Album Artist] field in my case is always populated.  On April 26th I sent a fragment of the log created by MC.  You can see how a different path for the same song is used by MC in the same sync event.  I'm good now using [Artist] instead [Album Artist].

Regards.
