This is something that's been bothering me for a long time and is really hurting my appreciation for this application. The only reason I got MM was because it was both lightweight and capable of syncing to android...
Every time I add new music to my library, choose out some songs I like, add them to a playlist, and try to sync it to my phone... the songs transfer across, but the playlists don't update.
I generally have to sync 2 or 3 times to get it to work, and considering that the library takes a long time to check for new and changed media this ends up being extremely time consuming.
Deleting the playlist files from my SD card in the hopes of forcing them to update doesn't seem to make any difference. The newly synced playlist files appear to contain the new music when opened as text files, but the library still doesn't update despite spending a good 10 mins scanning for changes.
Manually deleting playlists from the library on my phone seems to help... sometimes. After doing this MMA still doesn't pick up the new playlists, leaving me with an empty playlist library... so I have to sync... again... and scan again...
And for whatever reason deleting the playlist files and library playlists at the same time just ends up with my old playlists again.
Is there a fix for this? Or at least a workaround that actually works reliably? If not I need to find a new program to manage my music and playlists... and get ready to enjoy the tedious process of migrating my library. I like MM but if it can't fulfill my basic needs it's gonna have to go.
I'm running Win7 x64, MMW 4.1.13.1801 and syncing to MMA 4.5 on Android 5.1.1 according to the "about phone" information.
