Just to clarify: the Client/File/Sync/'Check for changed media files on this m/c' and the Server/Settings/Configure Mnemosyne/Sync Server/'Check for changed media files on this machine' serve the same purpose? I only have a sync problem when both are checked - when it's one or the other, everything is fine. This is consistant regardless of whether any media files have actually changed. Perhaps placing the button in one place only would avoid confusion? Just a suggestion.
As for renaming the media files to make the sound work: there are too many. Maybe I'll load linux onto my old laptop - personally, I wouldn't hold my breath regarding a quick fix of the Quicktime problem. Kind regards B.
