If the files have previously been synced the HDD shouldn't need to be accessed at all if metadata refresh is disabled. I'm not sure why as technically the sync process is just sharing information between the MB database and the iTunes database (both stored on NVME C: drive). Disabling metadata refresh certainly makes it faster but the mechanical drive where my music is stored still gets thrashed during the sync but only the first time. No matter what I do, I can't stop the sync process from accessing the actual media files (track files). Just a note about some of the estimates I have listed previously for sync times, I may have been a bit optimistic due to file caching (I think). Just tick the delete files option, untick the "confirm deletion" box then untick the deletes option again. This version will throw an error if you have "delete files that are not on the auto-sync list from the device" unticked but the "confirm deletion" box is ticked, like in the picture below. End of the day it's not a huge deal, the plugin still works fine, it's just a display issue. The logic above will assume 50 tracks need to be deleted instead of the required 150. User unticks the playlist of 150 tracks and ticks another playlist of 100 completely different tracks. Tracks in itunes - 200 made up of 2 playlists of 50 tracks and 150 tracks. Something like the following would trigger it. In certain situations this logic will fall over and the progress bar will go over 100%. It's not perfect but it's the best I can do without a major rewrite (I'm sure this time). If tracks to be deleted is less than zero it's assumed to be zero. The basic logic is No of Tracks in iTunes - Tracks to be synced = Tracks to be deleted. The best I can do is make an assumption on the number of deletes based on the number of tracks to be synced and the number of tracks in iTunes. The counts displayed will now be more accurate (not include playlists) and deletes are handled a little better but still not perfect.
