2.5.5248 Syncing to a Creative ZEN FIXED

[chrisjj]

Has anyone achieved success in syncing to a Creative ZEN? If so, it would be good to hear.

I've so far tested with one unit that has been synced fine by other programs inc. Media Monkey and J River Media Center. I get various failures on MB. http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=14476.0 .

I'm using Windows 7 and ZEN lastest firmware, V1.21.03.

Any reports from other MB & ZEN users would be useful to hear.

Thanks.

EDIT: And now I get a sync that says "Synchronisation completed." Which sounds good... except that clicking Preview shows three tracks for deletion http://i.imgur.com/cHSFVkI.png , indicating the device is not actually in sync. (Re playlists' Copy, not playlist had changed so I guess Copy is due to an MTP limitation related to track set change.) Retrying sync.

EDIT: Again "Completed", but again Preview shows tracks for deletion http://i.imgur.com/cKSJFS1.png . This time different quantity, and different tracks. Repeating Preview gives the same. Retrying sync.

EDIT: MB hung. http://i.imgur.com/pyQkwxa.png Relaunching and doing Sync. Again "Completed" http://i.imgur.com/UWgW9KU.png and now Preview shows just one track for deletion: http://i.imgur.com/iHBwaHM.png . Trying again.

EDIT: Again "Completed" but again Preview http://i.imgur.com/xvERE3M.png shows Deletion needed - one track, and again a different one. So, I think it is clear that there is a problem with Sync here.  I'm going to make a new library, format the device and sync again.

EDIT: "make a new library, format the device and sync again." That gave me a sync without errors, and then a Preview without deletions. So, looks like there is a workaround.

For the record, this seems fixed on V3.2.6827.
