Music syncing only purchases, not full library, to iPhone

Thanks. I've installed that now but I'm still seeing Kinds that end with " file". I've tried the alternative versions of English as the language in case that threw up novel values but no luck so far. Anyway I can edit for the values you've shared already easily enough. New build of the script coming soon.

The script works against the current selection of tracks, or the current playlist, or all the songs in the library, depending on the conditions when the script is launched. I recommend using against a small selection of tracks that you know have an issue until it works as expected. You can then run against larger batches. Are you certain that you've downloaded version 1.0.1.42? This has the added Kind descriptions for "AAC Audio" and "MPEG Audio". I suppose there could be trailing spaces in those two values which would prevent a match. What language are you running? Still trying to work out why you have different values than I do.

As for the slow speed do you have any non-Microsoft antivirus software? If so exclude the iTunes folder.

Is iTunes creating the XML? (Edit > Preferences > Advanced). If so turning that off might help.

Try clicking this link to make sure the right version is showing https://samsoft.org.uk/itunes/FindTracks.vbs, reload the page if not which should fetch the current version, then right-click the link to save a copy locally.

Apologies for the late reply. Been focused elsewhere.

The unknown album detail suggests the files that are being fixed are missing tags, or the tags are missing details, and that you have the "Keep media folder organized" flag enabled. Turn this off before attempting any more repairs. That way any data that is present in the file path can potentially be restored.

I can't recall if I've asked already, but do you have an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription, or have you used one in the past?

Turning off the advanced preference to generate an iTunes Library XML file might speed up the script operation a bit. The less like the standard layout your library is the more work the script is doing to look at potential alternative folders for each track.

Your symptoms are unlike those I've run into before, which are usually caused by people manually moving content around after connecting it to iTunes. Have you tried to use any other software to make changes to your library, e.g. tag editing, normalization, etc.?

Hi, I've uploaded a new build (1.0.1.42) of FindTracks. You may need to refresh the page to make sure it delivers the updated script.

There is a flag called MoreInfo that is currently set to False. Try changing line 151 to read:

MoreInfo=True

Then try running the script again to see if that gives any useful feedback.
