Audiobook Sync issue MM5/MMA

Post by Michael Handscomb »

Hi
I have been using MM4 for years happly and upgraded to MM5, apart from the occassional crash I have run into a sync issue that is a major nuisance.

I have audio books on my PC's MM5 library *set up as type 'audiobooks'.
I do not wish to sync these to my smartphone's SD card when I sync with MMA.
I have set up the sync in MM5 under the 'Devices and Services'>''[phonename]-SD card'>'Sync list (Library to Device) just to sync Music, podcasts, classical, playlists.
On MMA. for the Sync settings (to the M5 library on the PC) for the SD card - I just set Music, Podcasts, Classical Music, Playlists to sync.
However when I sync from MMA, the whole audiobook library downloads to the phone which takes forever and also t takes up lots of space.

I may have overlooked something and would be very grateful for any pointers thanks...!

Sync Selection is not excluding, instead including. So not having something selected doesn't guarantee it won't be Synced. You likely have the Audiobook files included in a selected Playlist or other Collection.

This means you'll need to do some investigating as to what selection includes these files.

Hi Lowlander

Much obliged for your response - It will take tracking down - nothing springs to mins but there are lots of playlists to check out - half the fun i guess...!

Regards Mike
