I'm seeing an odd situation. Running MMA-Beta 1.0.7.0311, MMW 4.1.5.1719, syncing approximately 3,000 songs to my MMA on my GS3 phone from MMW via wi-fi (and no syncing in the opposite direction). Four songs get stored on the phone in the wrong place, but they all show up correctly in the MMA organizer. Operationally, I have no complaint - the songs are listed where they should be and they play just fine. But these types of anomalies can be indicative of subtle software bugs they may have larger impact in some other situation. I have reviewed the tags extensively with three different applications and can find nothing that distinguishes these songs from the others on their respective albums. Two songs are from the same 20-song album, but they get stored in the Unknown Folder, under the correctly named album subfolder, along with the album artwork (a duplicate of the artwork that is stored in the correct folder under artist/album). Another song gets stored in the Unknown Folder under its correctly named album subfolder, but without the album artwork, whereas the other songs in this album are stored correctly under the artist/album subfolder. These three songs are mapped to my external SD card and are under the Android/Data/... folder chain. The fourth song is mapped to my phone's internal SD drive under Music. The song is "I'm Blue" from the album "Their First LP" by The Spencer Davis Group. On MMW, this song, along with the other 11 songs on this album, is stored in subfolder /Music/The Spencer Davis Group/Their First LP. On MMA, 11 songs get stored in an identically named subfolder, but "I'm Blue" gets stored in /Music/Spencer Davis Group/Their First LP. The only difference is "The" is missing. Thus, on the phone, I have subfolders named "The Spencer Davis Group" and "Spencer Davis Group", each having a subfolder "Their First LP", with 11 songs in one and one song in the other. I have tried various combinations of deleting, rescanning and resyncing to no avail. I'm also having a handful of similar issues pertaining to album artwork; the artwork exists as "Folder.jpg" in the MMW folders but does not get synced (translated to AlbumArt.jpg) on MMA. Out of a couple hundred albums, there's only a few that have artwork issues. But since everything is coded and stored correctly under MMW, it makes no sense that it would not be correct when synced under MMA.
