Sync with UMS mp3 player ?

Hi everyone,

I'm searching for a efficient way to sync music between my music library and an mp3 player.

I've got lots of flac and a few mp3, so there needs to be a conversion from the flacs to mp3 in the process.

Here's what I do now:
- I've got one playlist for every mp3 player (all of them are UMS)
- I have a convert preset that sends the files (converted to mp3) to a dedicated folder
- I copy the folder to the device

This may seems simple (it is) but it has several drawbacks:
- all the files are converted, even the ones that are already mp3s
- this could be very long as every files has to be converted (one of my mp3 player is a 40 Gb Cowon X5)

What I'm searching is some way to:
- only transfer the files that are not already in the destination
- only convert the flac files

There's a great component to sync to an ipod... with a sync feature and a very useful tag mapping.
Unfortunately, I have no ipod (maybe I'll take one next time, because it would be easier to use with foobar)

I found nothing doing the same thing fot UMS players...
Maybe it's possible to do it anyway... but I didn't know how.


Thanks in advance for your answers.

Up...

Nobody uses an UMS mp3 player?
Next time I'll buy an ipod as it seems to be a lot easier to use with foobar...


Another flaw of the process I'm using now is that foobar doesn't keep the cover image when converting flac to mp3...

Yes, I already read these posts but found no answer in it...

foo_sendtodevice seemed nice but doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Thanks, I'll try this and hope it'll work with foobar 1.1.x.

I tried it but it doesn't answer my needs:
- no sync feature
- conversion with lame is sequential (only 1 core of my quad is used) and with an annoying DOS window opened for each file. So it takes a LOT of time to convert.
- if any special characters in tags used for Folder or filenames, I get errors.

I know that it is not ideal but as long as we don't have a special component or fileops lacks of special options you can try this (can't estimate its quality, so apologize if it is not bmuch better than foosendtodevice):

Thanks for your reply.
In fact I already tried this as it sounded very promising... but I was totally unable to make it work.

I think it does exactly what I want, but I'm not sure it works with foobar 1.1 (maybe I just don't understand how it works... it's possible I give it another try some day)

I desperately want this feature too. You'd figure it'd be easier to implement than foo_dop, but I guess there just isn't enough interest.

However, it is in alpha stage and wasn't updated since one year. Since it is open source maybe one developer ...

As far as i know symbian doesn't barricade the access to the storage as well as android doesn't do it. Therefore foo_androidsync should be able to work with symbian phones.
