can't get "Auto-Change Directory" to work

<< < (2/3) > >>

GodEater:
Are you using the Database ?

hvacr:
Yes I am.

GodEater:
I don't believe it's possible to make Auto-Change directory work with database generated playlists in a sensible way - particularly not if your iPod is still loaded with music from iTunes - since tracks from the same album are extremely likely to be scattered across multiple directories on the disk, thanks to iTunes obfuscation of both the filenames, and the directories it puts them in.

This means that a playlist you compile from a given album is ALREADY changing directories multiple times while it's playing - so Auto-Change directory has no meaning in that context.

hvacr:
So is the best thing for me to do is start over, get rid of the files on the mp3, and not use mediamonkey to sync the songs. I would then just drag the songs from windows explorer into the ipod.

GodEater:
That's probably the quickest option.

The alternative is to code some sort of Database friendly version of the same feature :)
