Summary0003417: User is prompted to delete MP4 files each time they sync iPod containing them
DescriptionIf a user syncs to an iPod using iTunes, then each time they sync with MM the user is prompted to delete MP4 files from their iPod.

Proposed solution is to delete only those file types that are listed as 'Supported' in the Auto-conversion tab, and uncheck mp4 as a supported file type for the ipod.

If we take this approach, we may want to allow Non-Gold users to edit this portion of the Auto-conversion tab, but not enable the conversion rules.

Note: 'unsupported' means:
1. That the plugin doesn't handle the extension at all.
2. That user unchecks the extension in auto-conversion dialog.
Currently, tracks are deleted based on 1. After this is resolved, they would be deleted based on 2.

Note: n upgrade the supported filetypes should probably be reset

I was thinking about this in the past and since the proposed solution could possibly have some negative effect (I'm not sure what in this moment), I think that we could recommend a short term solution of ignoring '*.mp4' mask for deletion from iPod for users using mp4 videos?

As discussed, a short term hack would be to prevent deleting *.mp4 tracks in the default iPod configuration.
