Sync 2 crazyness

[Enoch]

Any of the techies out there that can offer any advice on this one

Put all my music on a flash drive, all sorted into folders for each artist, album art included....all working fine

Except one album..for some reason this album has 4 copies of every song in it...
So song 1 is called under the sky, and this plays 4 times before it gets to song 2, which then also plays 4 times, and so on..... So the 11 song album contains 44 songs...

I removed the flash drive, and checked the content...that particular album only has 11 songs in it......how can this be??

Any other files in the folder? Playlists etc? Clear it down to just those 11 files and try again.

No...no playlists......the group is THE ANSWER and the album is RISE...it contains 11 tracks.....I've deleted the folder from the flash drive, reloaded the CD into iTunes, created a new folder, and copied and pasted the album from iTunes to a new folder in the flash drive...

If I remove the flash drive now, and put it in my PC, I can see that folder only contains 11 tracks.....put it back in the car, and it has 44 tracks

I've deleted and reloaded the folder a few times, the result is always the same..:lol:

Does the Sync 2 have an internal memory??... It's got me foxed

Must like the group
Have you tried it with no group or song name, just a generic 1 to 11

Just keep that cd in the player and delete from the flash drive ;)

Put just that album onto another drive and see if it does it still

Do you have gracenote management set to 'on'? If so, try it 'off'. And then re index the media player in sync. That solved MOST of my issues, but I still have tracks playing in the wrong order when it comes to double CDs

[MENTION=17421]jord79[/MENTION] Does the meta data on the tracks from your double CDs include a disc number as well as a track number? If not you may be getting the two track 1's from each disc first then the two track 2's etc....I came across this in itunes when tagging my music collection and solved it by adding disc numbers.

No gracenote is off........I'm going to load the music to another flash drive from an old Windows PCS and see what that does

But first I need to fix my trolley jack:frusty:addle:

It is doing exactly that. Plays disc 2, track 1 first then, 1-1, 2-2, 1-2 and so on. However, as far as I can tell, the metadata does include the disc number as well, so in my case this isn't fixed.

What did you use to edit the metadata?

Spotify, find the songs, put album into a playlist, then next album, then next etc. When you want to change song, just scroll to the new album, press play, if shuffle is off, it'll play down the list in the order put into the playlist...(If you don't manage to sort your cd issue)

[MENTION=17421]jord79[/MENTION] - I use a program called 'Tag & Rename' to keep my music library in order (over 30k songs) and that definitely has a disc number field in it but I think itunes does in the individual track info as well

Well I got to the bottom of my issue.....couldn't understand why a particular album I'd deleted kept playing songs despite the folder not being there..

Got into command prompt on my PC and there were loads of hidden files on my flash drive..and guess what, they contained the songs from the folder I'd deleted. So I deleted them all....flash drive plays fine now:cheers:

Here's a snapshot of a program I downloaded yesterday (Tag & Edit). It shows one of the offenders and it clearly has a disc number field, but it's still playing 2-1, 1-1, 2-2, 1-2 etc.

Stumped!

[MENTION=17421]jord79[/MENTION] - Only other suggestion I have Is looking at the 'sorting' tags to ensure nothing odd going on there?
