Ok. No one is talking. My desktop that all my music resided on an SSD fell and no longer works at all. No boot, POST, gonzo. Is MMA still trying to connect to it during playback? I really have no idea what to do? Until I can get another desktop and transfer the music on the SSD from the damaged ...

I suggest migration: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Player Sync should match files, so deletion shouldn't be necessary. Well, the SSD with all the music will come from the desktop that no longer works. I am going to install it in my new desktop and hope for the best. I just assumed that ...

If I reinstall MM5 on a new desktop, should I
1. (Re)Scan all my music on my SSD with all my music?
2. After this, I should delete all the music synced to my phone, S24+ and do another wired sync from the new desktop PC to the phone?

It seems as if all of sudden, when I click on an artist->album->track - whatever. MMA plays one track and then stops? This is happening to albums that have successfully played in the very recent past.
I am casting from MMA to the Marantz 1711. Nothing new here. Why play 1 tracks and stop?

Thx. I did a WiFi sync and the album I added in MM5 synced over to MMA with no prob. I just need to get reacquainted with the settings in MMA?
This started as a way to faster way to sync for some FLAC. A wired sync from MM5 should do it w/o changing any other settings?

https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Exporting_Tracks#Preparing_your_Media_Files Sync List (Library --> Device) I have "Music" checked on the left. So, what about the right-hand side? NOTE: I want the S24+ to reflect the music in MM5. If I add/modify/delete on MM5 I want this reflected on the ...

[To help with my confusion] You recommended a Wired Sync in MM5->MMA. Can you you provide a list of things check/uncheck before I try to do another one?

You need to start a Sync in MMW if you want to do a USB Sync. It sounds like a different Sync is happening, either Samsung or Windows doing a device backup or something similar. I need to make sure it is a USB-C sync from MM5 to MMA. I know if properly configured it is very fast. [@Peke uses ...

On my S24+, I had to change the USB options for my S24+ from Charge only to "some kind of data transfer" in order for the Sync button in MM5 to be accessible [instead of greyed out].

Also, I thought a wired USB-C sync would be very fast.This took a long time. Ultimately, I just wanted to do whatever happens during a WiFi [which I am used to] Sync. That did not happen.

[a bit off-topic here] My S24+ has a USB-C connection for both power and data. So, I should be getting a very fast data transfer because the PC has one USB-C port. EDIT: I connected my S24+ via USB-C cable to PC USB-C cable. But, I must have screwed up the settings. It seems as if all files are ...

1. Is it possible to use this in MM5? 2. If not, what is available in MM5 that does the same [more or less]?

Comcast internet, S24+, I thought the 6 year old PC would be the drag?

The desktop PC is 6 years old. My S24+ phone probably has a much faster WiFi than the PC. Would it be worth it to add a thumb drive USB internet to it as a try to speed things up during a WiFi sync?
