Have you made any changes to those files, such as in the tagging? It should copy newer versions of the same files over top older versions in the destination. It will most likely also copy any files that are of a different size, even if the file modification date hasn't changed. I haven't used Synctoy very much, but you can probably also have it copy any file where the Archive file attribute is set, even if the date and size are the same. If (like myself and others) when you edit your file tags you preserve the modification date so that Squeezebox Server doesn't change the album order in New Music, the Archive flag on the file will still be set when the file is saved. You can use that to trigger copying of the newer file over the old one. The Archive file attribute is generally used by the operating system and backup programs to say 'this file has changed, it needs to be backed up'. When using the Archive attribute be sure to clear it afterwards. I'm guessing Synctoy can also do that. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80204 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
