Thanks for the feedback.
FYI I am syncing over WiFi.
Also, I don't rate songs on MMW - only MMA, and only sync every few days. So I wouldn't think a small clock difference (i.e. < a few hours, although all my devices are within minutes of each other) could cause any problems - unless there was incorrect handling of timestamps, or some bad math going on with comparisons.
Are you suggesting that the ratings never got back to MMW? This would explain why they are still included in the Unrated playlist - but why would this only happen to SOME tracks? And how can I force them to go down to MMW? Wipe and re-rate?
There were database updates done on the phone (i.e., a MMA was updated, and when I started it, it said something about re-creating the database) - since the tracks were initially sync'd onto the phone, this has happened more than once. Could something have happened in there, e.g. some data lost in the update?
I have not sync'd again in a while, concerned that if "bad" ratings are somehow surfaced on the Android device, on tracks I do not see or touch, they will overlay the "good" ratings on my MMW library. I just happened to get lucky, and chanced to play a song on MMA that I *knew* I had rated a 5 (confirmed on MMW), yet it showed as a "2" (MMA). Is there a way to confirm that this wouldn't happen (i.e. that "2" get sync'd back to MMW) and trash my MMW library?
The fact that I song I rated as a 5 on MMA, got sync'd back to MMW in the past correctly, but then got pulled down/updated on MMA as a 2, concerns me. This particular song I would have NEVER rated less than 4 - so it's somewhere in the exchange that the rating got changed.
Would 4.1.6 make it safe to sync ratings back to MMW? Or do I need to wipe the device and start all over again, syncing and re-rating all the tracks?
Thanks.
