I only wifi sync to the SD card (64gb) in the device. This gets MMA directly updated by MMW as well as Play History syncing.

I finally got it fixed. As I mentioned before, I shut off the tablet and removed the card and MMA still showed all these songs in the library. I went into the Music Player app and that did show no songs. So then I shut down the tablet again and put the card back in. I loaded Music Player and it automatically started reading everything in again. After that finished I went into MMA and then it said there were no songs, but it started reading them in again. This is very curious that nobody else has had this problem. The MicroSD card I am using is 64GB. Perhaps everyone else is using a smaller capacity card and MMA hasn't been thoroughly tested when using an external 64GB card? Beats me. But I guess in the future when I want to update tracks, I'll do it by popping the card out and copying to it with a USB card reader.

I've done that, it didn't fix it. I figured maybe if I shut down the tablet and removed the MicroSD card, then booted up again MMA would notice that all the songs are gone and zero out the database. Nope, it still thinks they are all there. I went into the tablet's Application Manager and selected MediaMonkey and MediaMonkey Pro and pressed the buttons for Clear Data and Clear Cache. No difference. I figured I would uninstall them, reboot, and reinstall MediaMonkey. This is still without the MicroSD card being plugged in. I load MMA, press Genre hoping it would show there is nothing there, and it still shows lots of genres, albums, and tracks. The album art is not showing.

I've just figured something else out. If I do a search for one of the newly added tracks by the track title, it does show up. But it says Unknown artist and the embedded album art doesn't display. When I use the Music Player app, all the data and the art is there and I can find it by the artist. Is there a way to tell MMA to rescan or rebuild the library?

You could send a debug log (from About screen) right after scanning finishes.

Sync syncs what you select to sync, it only syncs all if you select all to be synced.

Did you check under Choose Library Folders that the folder for the new files is checked?

Yes, it is checked.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tag 3 with Android version 4.2.2. I copied all the MP3s I wanted on the tablet onto a MicroSD card, then stuck the card in the tablet. I installed MMA on the tablet and after a couple hours it finished scanning all the songs into the library and everything was fine. I have since added a few dozen more songs by using a file manager to copy them from my network drive to the MicroSD card. I haven't set up the syncing system because I don't want all of the songs from my PC on the tablet, just some of them.

My problem is that I cannot get MMA to scan the new tracks into it's library. If I use the Music Player app that came pre-installed on the tablet, it sees the new albums. If I use the Folders button and navigate my way to the appropriate folder, it shows all the tracks in there. But when I look by Artist it doesn't show the newly added tracks. If I go into Options, there is a button labeled Check for new/changed media. If I press it, it lights up and I'll get a message for just a second that says Scanning Started, but it doesn't do anything. What am I missing?
