MusicBee Wishlist / Pooling device storage areas for synchronization?

« on: June 28, 2012, 10:05:14 PM »

My Nokia N8-00 appears as a device with 3 storage areas: "Phone Memory", "Mass Storage", and "MicroSD Card" (the latter is named whatever name I've given to the card).

Music is stored in subdirectories under root directory "Music" on the latter two storage areas.

Using default device settings, the device seems to be addressed as an MTP device when transferring media files to it with MusicBee (but the device's own settings can easily be changed explicitly to appear as a USB storage device or MPT device).

The problem is that even as an MTP device, MusicBee's device synchronization settings only address 1 storage area at a time: if I run out of space on one storage area, I must explicitly change the settings to another storage area.

Is there some way to enumerate and choose to pool certain storage areas on a device, which would all use the same file path settings in MusicBee's device synchronization settings? So that the resulting larger, pooled storage area would be managed as one integrated destination for synchronization?

MusicBee Wishlist / Device synchronization to multiple pooled storage areas

« on: March 08, 2012, 06:48:43 AM »

My Nokia N8-00 phone has internal 16GB "Storage" flash memory and a microSD slot for cards up to 32GB (I have a 16GB).  When the phone is connected to my PC via USB in "Media Storage Mode" (which I think is MTP protocol), the MusicBee synchronization can target either the internal flash or the microSD storage, but not pool both at once. I still have 11GB free on the internal flash but am running out space on the microSD.

What would be great is if the device synchronization setting "Music Root Folder" could have multiple values (using the multiple expanding fields used elsewhere in Musicbee) and pool all the contents of those folders for synchronization purposes.

Difficult? Impossible? Nothing seems impossible in MisicBee! (I am still on 1.4, giving 2.0 a month or two to mature in the bottle, then I will switch.)

All the best for this terrific application.

Portable Devices / Errors in MTP synchronization

« on: December 12, 2011, 05:56:49 AM »

 I've started using MusicBee with my new Nokia N8-00 phone, which I set in MTP mode. The files are stored onto the microSDHC card, which the Windows 7 file explorer shows as formatted as a "generic hierarchical" file sysstem (whatever that is--maybe this is how MTP reports file systems).

Some files don't synchronize, and the error messages in the log all look similar to:

Is the problem filename length, or disallowed characters? Other files with similar length transferred OK, as did files with characters like "(" ")".

I still have to try synchronizing with the Nokia in mass-storage mode, I'll report if similar issues arise.
