Yep that's great, I'll try that..
Using latest versions on both.
Basically I record a lot of Internet radio - and then just assign a genre for each station or station genre - and that can really add up. I get maybe a 10% hit rate of stuff I actually want to keep (and don't worry, I do buy or subscribe through Spotify for stuff I end up really liking). And sifting through it all on a PC has just never worked - so being able to sync to my mobile device - star rate - sync back and then delete everything with below 3 stars - would be fantastic - it would be ten years of looking for something like this - finally at an end.
But this morning (after leaving it all overnight, running) WMA cannot see any UPnP servers, including others running on the PC... so something's amiss there. Last night (after following those instructions) I tried disabling IGMP Snooping and "Enable Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF)" in wireless settings and then WMA could see UPnP servers, complete a sync. This morning however the problem as returned. So I wonder if Bitdefender could be causing any issues. I'll give it another go with that firewall disabled later, although from experience that won't help either..
This happened last night but the UPnP servers appeared on WMA after disabling those options and I thought that fixed it, but it may have been entirely coincidental.
So WMA is not seeing any servers, that could be the issue.
Even so, when I could sync - nothing happened.. So is there something I need to do on the PC side? I was hoping I could just pull up WMA and select Genre X and then sync 3+ stars, or everything.
Or do I need to do that from the PC (once I get it working). I just want to sync a directory or genre and then go have fun rating and / or deleting on the phone and syncing back to the PC.
Serious bonus points if I can then automate then when I walk in the house. That would be heaven.
Internet radio, after 20 years, is still my main source of exposure to new music. Followed by Spotify but I still find Internet radio still so useful. But the problem is that only a small amount of it I actually like so I need to do a LOT of filtering.
I will also try from a Windows 7 laptop this weekend too, and actually completely uninstall Bitdefender on that laptop just to rule it out too (but for some reason I don't think that's the issue). I'll also look for a UPnP browsing app on Android to see if it's isolated to the WMA app.
Any other suggestions welcome. I've been trying to get something like this going for a loooooong time and I will be so grateful to you all if I can. I'll shout MediaMonkey from the rooftops and get others on board. Because it's so awesome. Like my wife. She'll love it if we can do this for her too.
