Sync

USB Sync
USB Sync works like Sync for any other device MediaMonkey can Sync to. USB Sync is faster than Wifi Sync.
- MTP Drivers for Android devices can be buggy causing a frozen error message in MediaMonkey. Updating MTP drivers can help. If USB Sync continues to fail you can try to use Wifi Sync instead.
Wifi Sync
Wifi Sync is run from MediaMonkey for Android (can't be initiated from MediaMonkey) and requires the MediaMonkey Media Server. Wifi Sync is slower than USB Sync.
Disconnecting your Device
Android devices can safely be unplugged once a sync operation has completed.
