All Music Auto Smartlist Problem

A few of you have reported problems in syncing w/the Auto-Smartlist called "All Music".

For some reason, in certain situations, when doing this none of your playlists make it over when this playlist is checked. It might also occur when other Auto-Smartlists are checked, but I haven't been able to verify.

If anybody has this problem or has been able to re-create, could you please send your itunesdb file to steve @ jriver.com? (no spaces)

He's the developer of the iPod plug and isn't able to re-create it--neither am I for that matter so it's been tough for him to figure out...

Thanks,

Adam

I have the "feature" that the first Smartlist (reading down the screen) doesn't get synch'd. Is that relevant? If so, when you say "itunes db file" do you mean a backup of the MC Library?

MC 9.1.270

Not sure about that feature Carve. Which smartlist is that? You're saying even when you check it it doesn't make it over?

And regarding the iTunesdb file, I mean the itunesdb file on the iPod. This is the iPod's database. It's located on the iPod under ipod_control/itunes I believe.

When doing a synch, I check "All Music" (which is the first one, reading down) and then some of my own smartlists. What happens is that everything gets transferred ok <b>except</b> the "All Music" smartlist. If I don't check the "All Music" smartlist, then the next one down (out of the ones that I have checked)gets missed. So I always get 1 less list on my iPod than I expect.

iTunes db - understood, thku.

That's an interesting tidbit.... Steve knows about this thread so he can check it out.

I upgraded to 9.1.279, reformatted my iPod, and registered ;) - and now it works fine. Sorry for the scare.
