Winamp tries to resync existing music

[gfunkdave]

I've got Winamp 5.601 and the Android app. I love wifi sync, except that Winamp wants to re-add all 1700 songs I already have on my Nexus One.

I set Winamp to sync two playlists, which I imported from iTunes. When I start the wifi sync, I get a dialog that says it will sync 1735 songs to the phone, and that there are 1735 songs on the phone already that aren't in the local media library. It asks if I want to delete the existing songs.

How do I make it realize that those existing songs are the songs on the two playlists it's supposed to sync? I really don't want to wait for it to copy 16GB of music over wifi...

thanks!

(ps - posted this in the general tech forum before I noticed this one...oops)

Check that files are written to the Android with the same filename as on your local system. If there is any slight difference it will not recognize as the same file.

I wish the sync would keep the exact same filename instead of trying to parse ID3 data and trying to make a filename from it for the sync.

Fortunately, most of my filenames have a standard format, e.g. <Artist> - <Title>, but occassionally not since it give some searching flexibility in case I might want multiple titles, etc.

So after you are sync'ed, go under:

Options - Preferences --> Media Library --> Portables
Options - Preferences --> Media Library --> Portables --> DeviceID
Options - Preferences --> Media Library --> CD Ripping

and get the filenaming conventions to match.
