Because my music library, even my playlist, is too large for my SD card (I also keep video on there), I use a smart playlist that limits the tracks to 12GB of random songs. The sync-back logic only works for songs on an active, or last synced playlist.

Since the smart playlist re-randomizes every load, the songs on the device are not necessarily, and in fact often not, the same songs in the smart playlist. As a result, the sync-back does not always occur.

I wonder if there cpuld be a way to choose a sync-back playlist (i.e. the whole library) instead of the device playlist to cover this use case.

• Get PlayerPro: https://market.android.com/details?id=c ... rpro&hl=en
• Set "Rating System" in PlayerPro Settings to "Music files"
• Change ratings in PlayerPro or MediaMonkey
• Make sure you don't have a file open in PlayerPro that you changed or else MediaMonkey won't be able to copy it.
• Sync in MediaMonkey.

It will prompt you if you want to overwrite from your phone to MM, or you can disable that. It works perfectly. FINALLY

I have a Motorola Atrix 4G on AT&T
MediaMonkey 4.0.0.1399
Phone set to "USB Mass Storage" in debugging mode

That makes sense -- I even considered it for a while, but the problem is that it copies over the whole song, rather than just the metadata for the ratings. A preferrable solution would be MM having access to the PlayerPro library, or vice-versa, so only this information transfers. I suppose it's unlikely, but corruption could occur during the copy (not to mention it takes a whole lot longer) and may result in data loss.
