Hi there,
I've been using MMA for a while now, syncing between the phone's SD card (128GB) the windows app (v4.1.24.1883) over wifi. Some time ago, songs started disappearing from the playlists synced via wifi to the SD card on my phone. The playlists are complete in the windows app, but many are totally empty, or have only 2 or 3 tracks (out of 15 to 20) on my phone. The odd thing is that there is a simple but labor-intensive fix: if I make any edits to one of the faulty playlists in windows (add a track, change the song order, etc), the next sync will repopulate all the missing songs from that playlist on my phone (even the songs I haven't touched). But the problem eventually reoccurs. I am not sure what triggers it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason (at least that I can discern) about which tracks and playlists are affected. I now work around it by periodically adding a dummy track to my library, adding it to all the faulty playlists, syncing, and then deleting the dummy track from my library. But that's really a pain with dozens of playlists and it also doesn't fix the most annoying aspect of the problem, which is wanting to listen to a playlist and discovering it is missing 90% of its content.
Bottom line: it seems that MMA thinks that a playlist is in sync, when it actually is missing tracks. Once you force it to redo the sync by making edits to the playlist, it puts all the songs back into sync.
I've tried checking and dechecking the various options for playlists in the device sync menu, to no avail, although I probably have not tried every possible permutation of options. Anyone else experience this issue? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
