What setting causes tracks to redownload just because they've been played? [#21290]

[tbm72]

Updated MMA today to 1214 and noticed that any track I now play through completely on my desktop MMW gets redownloaded on MMA next time I run a sync. It's never done this before so I'm wondering what setting forces MMA to re-download a track just because it's been played.

I haven't changed any settings so just wondering why it's started doing this now and what setting I need to change to stop it?

The only setting that I could see that could be remotely related is this one:



But I've had that box ticked for years before (so that it syncs back to my PC any track ratings I change on my phone) and it's never forced tracks to redownload onto my phone just because they've been played on my PC (and it does specify "Sync *from* the device").

I can't see any other setting that would cause my device to re-download tracks after they've simply been played on the PC?

You probably have Force files to resync whenever the source file has changed (slower) enabled (if on MediaMonkey 2024).

I did have that option checked because I'll often edit and update a source track on my PC and want to make sure it syncs the most recent version to my phone if I make any edits. But it's never forced a track to re-download on my phone just because it's been played on my PC. Why does it force a resync just from playing a file? The source file hasn't actually changed.

The source file hasn't actually changed.

Are you sure? Check the Date Modified in Windows if that's really true.

100%. I tested it by randomly playing a handful of tracks on my PC that I know have never been edited and when I did a sync those same tracks got re-downloaded onto my phone even though all I did was play them on my PC.

When I unchecked that option and tested again by playing some more tracks it didn't re-download them on my phone.

I also checked the date modified in Windows just to be sure and it was at least a couple of years ago for most of them.
