Title: syncing playlists creates duplicate tracks on device
Post by: Marukomu on October 15, 2020, 04:39:56 PM
I've seen a couple of posts on this topic and tried out the potential solutions but am still having this issue.

I am syncing my music and playlists from MB to a Sony A45 walkman. The issue I'm having is that the tracks in the playlists are showing up twice on the device. Here are my sync settings (sorry, am struggling a bit getting my screenshot to display properly):

I've tried clearing the whole device and syncing from scratch with the above settings but am still getting the duplicates.

Thanks.

What version is that? I don't have that "path prefix for tracks" box, which makes me think you are not on a recent version.  Synching has been worked on and improved in the recent past, you should update and see if that fixes it.

Also, there's a setting for "delete files that are not on the auto-sync list..." at the top, and you should make sure that's checked.

I'm on version 3.3.7261 so pretty recent. I can try downloading the latest version though.

I've now checked the "delete files that are not on the auto-sync list..." option at the top. Let me resync with the new version and see what happens.

7261 is about a year old. All you need to do is download and install the patch in my sig. Your choice 3.3 or 3.4, which is very, very stable for a beta. Many of us are using it exclusively at this point.

OK, have now installed the latest version and ticked that box and it works a treat. Thanks so much!

With the number of updates Steven puts out, no one should wait a year before updating. It's also a good idea to update to the latest patch when you see odd or buggy behavior because it may already have been addressed.
