Questions / Re: Is there a way to sync all tracks (including unticked)?

I think you'd just have to find a different criteria for your auto-playlist. Maybe you could make a custom tag to use as the criteria, before you re-tick the other tracks.

I actually found a work-around.  I created a new playlist containing all tracks in my library, and synced that to the new 256 GB card.  That syncs the entire library.  As long as I update the playlist when I add new tracks to the library, this should work fine.  I'm still retaining the unticked tracks for use on the 128 GB auto-playlist.

Questions / Is there a way to sync all tracks (including unticked)?

« on: March 19, 2019, 05:38:10 PM »

My music library is currently 147 GB in size.  I was using a 128 GB microSD card on my phone.  Since the whole library wouldn't fit on the card I went thru and unticked albums until it was under 128 GB.  I then created an Auto-playlist to include only songs that were ticked.  Then I synced the playlist to my 128 GB microSD card (this worked beautifully).

Now I have purchased a 256 GB card and wish to sync my entire library to it.  However, I still want to keep the auto-playlist for the 128 GB card since I have another device that only supports 128 GB.  When I go to sync my library to the 256 GB card and select "all music," it says "excluded 3,117 files (tracks not ticked)."  Maybe I am dense, but I don't see an option to sync all tracks (regardless of whether they are ticked or not).

I would rather not tick all the songs in the library, since then I would lose my 128 GB playlist and the ability to sync to that card.  Anyone know of a solution to this problem?  I am using the latest version (3.2.6902).

Huh.  Hopefully the update will do the trick for you, but if you continue to have issues with syncing, let us know the details.

Will do, thanks again.

When I clicked Cancel, another window popped up with a list of the tracks that would be aborted along with another option to cancel and a spinning circle.  Since I wasn't sure what it was doing at that point, I waited awhile before clicking cancel again.  

Now there are a lot of empty folders on the SD card with the album titles but no tracks in them.  I am fairly certain that those folders had files in them that were synced and it deleted them.  When I started the sync again, it started from artists beginning with "B" when I had got all the way up to "K" before I canceled.      

I'm not blaming you at all psychoadept, you said it "shouldn't delete" the tracks, which was hardly definitive, and I realized I was clicking cancel at my own risk.  Well, at least I am now upgraded to version 3.1 while I sync again.  It's not a big deal, really.

No, it shouldn't delete files that have already transferred.

Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 3.0?

Honestly, I wasn't aware it existed until I came to this site to ask this question.  I downloaded the version I am currently using 2 years ago and have been using it since then.  It's the only music library software I've found that has a sync option which works exactly how I need it to.  

As for upgrading, usually software will automatically check for updates, and I did look for a menu option to do so but didn't find one.  Was always planning on going back to the site to check but never got around to it.  I will definitely be upgrading to 3 now.  Thanks for your answer and help!

I'm in the middle of a huge sync of my MusicBee library to a new 256 GB microSD card.  If I click Cancel will everything be deleted from my card and will I have to start over or will I be able to resume the sync where I left off?  I'm using MB version 2.5.5804.
