General Settings

Preferences General

The General Settings tab has several checkboxes and radio buttons to customize the general SuperSync experience:

Open Transfer Dialog When Synchronizing enables or disables the launching of the transfer status window during a synchronization operation.

Skip duplicates (when title, artist, and album match)
When checked makes it harder to copy duplicates from one library to another. This should be checked until you know for sure that you want to have more than one copy of the same song. (For instance, a high-quality version and a low quality version, etc.) Even with this checked, SuperSync should allow you to copy songs from an album that contain the same title more than once as long as the track count is set properly.

Show Unmodifiable Playlists lets you view or hide the playlists that are not modifiable by SuperSync (Smart playlists and other distinguished playlists are not modifiable due to limits in the iTunes developer interface.)

Show track URL (file path) in song table enables the last column in the song table that shows the file path of the track (or numeric index, for network libraries.) Enable this if you need to see a file path to help locate file duplicates.

Double Click Track Action has two radio button options that determine what happens when you double click a track: start playing the track or begin the synchronization process.

Synchronize Action sets the download/upload process when a file is synchronized. In some cases, two-way synchronization is not what you want to do. To avoid accidentally uploading or downloading a file, you can adjust this setting. Note, uploading is not always available with all library types; for instance, iPod/iPhone/iPad libraries are read-only.

Save New Music Files as... determines how new tracks are saved in your library. When you receive a new track (via upload or by synchronizing against another library) it needs to be added to your music library. The location is determined from the library setup. The file format that you can select between saves files as:

Genre/Artist/Album/Track.ext

or

Artist/Album/## Track.ext

The Use parent file path lets you save the music in the format that it is saved in on the remote hard drive, relative to the library's root directory. If the media file is outside of the root directory (marked outside) the file will be saved in the selected format above.

Restore Defaults reverts back to the default setting of each preference. Apply saves any changes that may have been made.
