List of ideas

[Don't know if already covered as I can't see a means of searching historic entries here. I have a vague recall that I may have made similar suggestions to those below in September 2022.] Very pleased it's working on Windows 10 w/ 0Patch Pro as iTunes has been unrelievably problematic (unlike on Windows 7). Main virtue of CTM is its 'simple' elegance - not overwhelming with features that might only get used rarely if ever. Please preserve this approach. (A) Proposals That said, one area where imo improvement might be made: In iTunes right click on say, an mp3 file on the device (here Nano 2gen or 3gen) and you see under Information the tabs: Details - Artwork - Options - Sorting. Most importantly can you add to CTM (i) 'playback: remember playback position' on/off option; (ii) volume adjust (i.e. per file not just globally (already in Advanced Settings of CTM)); (iii) equaliser [select type in drop-down menu]. Maybe less importantly: option yes/no for 'Skip when shuffling'. As for iTunes' option 'media kind' (music/audiobook etc): this seems to be covered by CTM already iirc when right clicking individual file; but pls consider adding if I'm wrong. (B) Question In CTM Advanced Settings are some related to replay volume. I want to standardise at 95dB. I can see these default value settings (basically 80) but I don't know which / if all need to be changed from that default to accomplish 95dB replay: player.volume.default_value [presumably change to 95?] player.volume.save [presumably leave as default: 'yes'(?)] player.volume.value [currently default 80 / int - does anything need to change here to get replay at 95dB?] player.volume.speed_wheel [currently default 5 / int - presumably no change need here(?)]


For those using the free basic module and interested in seeing it maintained - maybe add to the website a tip jar(!)

It would be nice if you could search files on the device.

I just spent the past 4 hours properly curating my iPod's old mess of genres, but it won't sync over to my iPod... or rather, it did sync the changes, but now I have ~150 empty genres, and only 29 actual genres (went from 183 to 29). This is arguably worse than just leaving everything alone. Can you please add support to delete unused genres? Thank you for your consideration.

I am trying to add songs from the same artist but from different albums ( studio and Live ) and get the I went to setting to allow duplicates but can't seem to save this allow duplicates setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Seriously, if Itunes has the function of clearing plays on songs (on the newer Ipods) I see NO reason why someone can't add in the function for the older versions!! Please make this happen!!

I have over 300 (of 7,000) songs that I cannot delete using Manager because they are "read-only" . Your articles do not appear to discuss this (or I am missing it). I have done' everything I can with the settings on the music folder with no luck on removing the read-only effect.

RE: COPYTRANS MANAGER: As it is now, a user must select a music album then separately select all of the files within the album in order to delete it. If a user has dozens (or hundreds) of albums to delete, this could take a really long time. And this seems like a BASIC feature to be absent from an established product.

I used the add feature and moved a song into copytrans, it shows in the list there, I updated the song and copytrans suggested that the library had been updated with the song, I waited for the ipod to finish synchonisation, then ejected the ipod, Unfortuantely the song doesnt show on my ipod at all, Im at a loss to understand why, can someone help?

I own a very small in storage ipod, I'd love if my music could just automatically be compressed like magic. I love y'alls app though!

Please add in a way to reset the play count!

When adding songs, date added is not set; in the SQLite DB, date added on the item is set to 0 (so the songs are put on the bottom of the list when sorted by date added instead of the top) - make it so that the songs added are actually on top of my most recent songs

Instead of having to manually and tediously click on each song, how about a column that shows a thumbnail of the artwork attached to each track? This would make it easier for us to scroll through and figure out which tracks have missing or incorrect artwork much more quickly and easily.
