Peke, I just made a MM 1708 portable installation on a USB stick [url]http://i.imgur.com/VHID8My.png[/url] to try this, and I get the failure every time.

Before sync: Playlists directory:

And auto-sync set:

After sync: Playlists directory:

See failure to delete the non-auto-sync file [b]OLD PLAYLIST.m3u[/b] .

Stick contents here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5773707/MM%20playlist%20delete%20fail%20-%20stick.zip .

Hopefully someone will catch it.

Thanks for trying. Anyone else?

Unable to reproduce :evil: :-? :(

Jiri, this persists on MM4 1708 portable on Win7:

I just tried your [b]C:\Folder[/b] NH, and got the same failure. Detailed steps added to OP.

I wonder if it is path sensitive. Here the path is [b]S:\!DJ DAP\1 Synced from MM[/b].

Chris,

The wmdm plugin just automatically detects external drives. I'm not sure if it'll always detect a subst drive as external or whether it depends on whether the SUBST drive is _actually_ an external drive.

OOI, how is it possible to use wmdm with a SUBST drive? Here, wmdm does not offer the device letter control that USBmass does.

[quote="rusty"]I'm guessing that nohitter might have accidentally used the wmdm plugin. Nohitter, can you confirm?

No, I'm sure that I didn't. I created a new SUBST drive (Q:) using the command line to point to a "C:\Folder\" location. I then configured the USB mass plugin to point to drive Q: and synced a playlist and a few tracks. Then I renamed the playlist and resynced - the old playlist was removed (I was prompted if it should be deleted) and the new playlist with the new name was sent.

I'm guessing that nohitter might have accidentally used the wmdm plugin. Nohitter, can you confirm?

> the problem occurs with the USB MS plugin, and doesn't with the wmdm plugin.

Any clue why it is variable i.e. how NH is immune? Because that could be a workaround for me until the fix.

Thanks.
