Ahh.. Okay, that worked, thanks so much for your help again!
It seems misleading to use the word "synchronize" on the right click "send to" choice, maybe you could change it to "copy to" instead, that would be what it is actually doing, not synchronizing!
I have a feeling that maybe the way my file tree is physically set up is causing problems so that I had to specify the supported playlist formats?
In Explorer under D:\My Music\ I have a folder "_Classical" with all the classical music in it and another folder "_Non-Classical" with all the other music. I use dbPower Amp to rip CDs and have it set up to put the different types of music in these physical path locations.
In MM this same path tree path can be seen under the "Entire Library"\"Location" folder.
Also, under the MM main Tree is located "Music" "Classical Music" "Playlists" (and media servers, search results and the connected device, etc.). The confusing thing to me is that here, under "Music" or "Classical Music" there is again the "Location" path tree. I sometimes get mixed up in which area I am looking for things because:
Under the "Classical Music" tree there are folders for Album, Conductor, Composer, Artist, Title, etc. and only classical music is listed... works great
Under the "Music" tree there are also folder for Album, Conductor, Composer, Artist, Title, etc. but they show ALL the music, not just the non classical.
I guess I'm still just not used to how this all works or I somehow have the file structure set up wrong?
I have no idea why I had to specify the playlist formats, but it is now working correctly. Before, pretty much only the album art under "Music" (Non-Classical) would end up on the flash drive with almost all the "Classical" music files missing album art. It didn't matter whether in the device profile I checked to include folder art or use embed tag art or both. I now have both of those options un-checked and I am getting art for all areas and it is in the tags on the flash drive. All my music files on the computer have tag art along with folder art in each album folder.
Thanks, Lowlander.
