Summary	0002043: Problems with synchronization of e.g. Creative Zen
Description	Some users reported problem with some WMDM devices (like Creative ones). Based on my investigation of Creative Zen Micro I found out that: 1. One problem is that the device doesn't support folders, the folders shown are just virtual ones and so all content has to be upload to the root folder only. 2. Another issue (but related to 1) is that auto-synchronization code doesn't know what content to delete in the device because instead of finding something like '\Abba-Waterloo.mp3' in the device it finds '\All content\Abba-Waterloo.mp3' _and_ '\Artist\Abba\Waterloo\Abba-Waterloo.mp3' _and_ '\Album\Waterloo\Abba-Waterloo.mp3' _and_ '\Genre\Pop\Abba-Waterloo.mp3' Which clearly makes serious troubles in realizing what should be removed, etc.

Fixed in build	898

jiri 2005-10-02 11:11 administrator ~0005903	Fixed in build 898. 1. This was relatively clear, MM uploads all content to the root folder of such devices (regarless of the upload mask). 2. I don't think that there exists a real solution to this problem, but I made a kind of hack that should hopefully work well.
