Bertster,

1. Can you confirm whether Album Art is still being created in the folder as of build 139? This issue should have been fixed in build 131?! Also, please provide details as to how you're syncing (USB or WiFi). Thanks.

2. Please go to Settings > Applications > Running and click 'MediaMonkey' then check which service is running--I'm guessing it's the StorageObserver, but I'd appreciate it if you could confirm. Thanks.

3. This is most likely because MMW is configured to sync to the /Movies folder, MMW is causing it to get selected. Tracked at:

4. Wifi sync performance has been further improved in MMW 1642 (to be posted later this week)

5. Are the tracks that didn't sync properly from compilation albums (i.e. Album Artist =| Artist) ?

6. The lost db issue should be resolved in 139. Please confirm.

Also, I suspect that item 2 and the batter-sapping/scanning is related to http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=10797 which we're also working on.

Please let me know if your general experience with 139 is better.

Thanks.

p.s. this thread is going to get out of control,so I suggest answering the questions, but starting a new thread for each issue that still remains open. Otherwise it becomes too hard to track. Thanks.

Please use existing topics and separate topics per issue.

Just wanted to say that I'm having issues 3-6 on my RAZR M with build 136, as well. Not sure if this is because Samsung and Motorola use similar Android builds, or what, but it's made wifi sync completely useless. I also noticed that after going to options in MMA and setting sync to Internal off and External on, after attempting the wifi sync MMW 164 mysteriously has sync to Internal on and External off, despite MMW being set to Internal off and External on prior to wifi sync.

After switching to wired sync, tracks transfer again and show in library, but albums all show as unknown artist and all playlists are empty. Don't recall having that issue before the wifi sync problem.

Trouble is with Samsung's version of android, the Dev's are trying to fix mma to work on Samsung but the Samsung version of android has different issues causing the same symptoms as other issus on other phones, so fixing it in one fell swoop is not possible,
please do also remember to go into mma options and press send logs so the debug logs for your errors can be seen it will help faster then posting in the forum.

1. I know other people have reported this, but strangely I never had this problem until this build - albumart.jpg is being created in each album folder despite the option to do this being unticked in the device profile in MMW (this is a direct copy of the embedded art, not a scaled-down thumbnail as was being created several releases ago in the album folders). Also, these albumart.jpgs are appearing in the device's picture gallery.
2. Every time MMA is run, it spend about 30 minutes doing something which absolutely chews through battery life. The little spinning circle appears in the top right of the main screen and WiFi sync is not possible until this process completes. I didn't have this issue in previous releases. As the app doesn't give any indication of what it is doing, I don't know what to look for - I think it might be related to rescanning folders due to...
3. The library folder settings seem to be randomly forgotten. Every time I launch MMA, the "Movies" folder in my internal storage is re-selected after having been previously de-selected. The "Music" folder on my external SD card (which is the target folder for WiFi sync) may or may not be selected randomly.
4. WiFi sync is still unbelievable slow, but there seems to be new behaviour which causes even subsequent update syncs to take forever. It takes (and has always taken since I started testing MMA) many hours to sync my selected playlists from scratch after formatting the SD card (which amount to around 3000 tracks). This is actually slower than MTP sync over USB from MMW (which has always been ridiculously slow, but as the SGS3 does not support storage mode, was the only option). Compare this with syncing 1500 tracks to an iPod over USB, which takes about half an hour first time, then subsequent changes are synced in seconds or minutes - the WiFi sync to MMA takes about 10 minutes just to finish scanning for files to sync! It's not an issue with the phone or the SD card, as I can sync other stuff using other apps to the same SD card over WiFi very quickly (e.g. BubbleUPnP). It's something to do with the way MMA works - I just don't know what.
5. A few random tracks did not sync correctly in build 136 and ended up in an "Unknown Artist" folder. When I check the metadata within the tracks, the artist and album artist fields are indeed blank. The original files in Windows are correctly tagged. If these files are deleted and resynced, they sync correctly. Just seems to be random. Didn't have this issue in any previous version.
6. (Probably related somehow to 3) - Just opened MMA and the database is empty. Sync says "Nothing to sync". Checked library folders and the "Music" folder is once again unchecked. Checked it - now MMA is in the battery sapping mode described in item 2, presumably rescanning the library again? As the whole phone is unusable for at least 30 minutes when it is in this mode, I'm not sure I've got the will to wait and see what happens.

And yes, I have done a complete uninstall/reinstall and deleted all data and resynced from scratch (which took a LONG time, as I say!).

Unfortunately, my experience with MMA is getting more frustrating with each build. It has been in development for a pretty long time now and for me, each build I test seems to introduce more bugs than are fixed. I quite like beta testing products, but this has to be the most frustrating product I've ever tested and is just taking way too much time to test as the thing is soooo slow (if I see that "Sync is waiting for other background operations to complete." meesage one more time, I think I'll scream!). This will be my last report of issues with the product as I will be uninstalling and looking for a different solution for faster syncing (probably just take the SD card out and sync directly to it). A real shame as the MMA wireless sync concept is a perfectly good one - it just doesn't seem to be usable, at least for me. I wish the devs the best of luck with the product and I hope other people have a better experience than I've had.
