Title: MC trying to sync audio web favourites to ipod
Post by: matt-uk on November 12, 2007, 04:00:53 pm

I've just added some online radio stations (a mp3 stream and an asf stream) to my web media favourites. Now every time I sync my ipod, MC tries includes them in the sync.. Is there something I can do to stop this?

That's the first time I've heard that one. Are you syncing your entire library?

Yes, but just audio.

If you use a smartlist to sync, you can put a rule in it that excludes these web favorites in some way.  You just need to utilize a tag that is common to web favorites -- i.e. if all your web favorites have a certain genre, you can create a rule that excludes this genre, or you can use something like the "Web Media URL" tag to exclude any file where this tag is NOT "empty."

I prefer to use smartlists for syncing.  I find it makes that they make it much easier to manage iPods.

Thanks.. That's a good workaround.. but shouldn't MC recognise that ipod can't play streaming media?

matt-uk,

In the next build (12.0.385), MC will no longer include URL's in your library when syncing all audio.

I'm now on version 12.0.395 and it's still trying to sync URL's to my ipod.

This only applies if you are synching ALL audio. Is that the case?

Yes, my handheld options for the ipod are set with the "All Audio" setting.

What is the full filename of one of the files that is getting transferred that shouldn't be?

Here are a couple of the full filenames..:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.ram
http://media.kcrw.com/live/kcrwlive.ram

It seems to happen with mp3 streams and windows media streams also.

Those should be getting filtered out now - we'll double check this on Monday.
