MMW 5.0.2338 portable, MMA 1.4.2.0951, WiFi sync
A very strange behaviour: Each song I play either on the PC with MMW or on the Sony NW-A105 (MMA) is completely copied again in the next sync. When I sync to my Galaxy S9 which has the same settings and use the same songs only the database is updated and the songs are not copied again (as it should be).
Some background:
I have a new Sony Walkman NW-A105 (which is an Android device, more or less a smartphone that cannot phone) with a 400 GB microSD card. I have synced my about 10000 songs (only MP3 and FLAC) per WiFi without issue which took about 16 hours. Songs play normally, everything seems to be fine. But when I sync again, all songs I have heard are copied again to MMA and it doesn't matter if they have been played with MMW or MMA.
Now I have a Galaxy S9 smartphone which has the same songs on it and syncing behaves normally. And the settings between NW-A105 and S9 are identical (with 2 exceptions: NW-A105 has the songs on MicroSD, S9 on internal memory; NW-A105 uses FLAC as it is, for S9 FLAC is converted to MP3), exactly the same music with the same playlists is used, settings in MMW and in MMA are all the same.
The behaviour is the same if I sync a FLAC or a MP3 file.
And another maybe important detail: If I play the songs a 2nd time after they have been copied again during sync they are not copied/overwritten again on sync, meaning the described unwanted behaviour only happens once per song.
Seems like I have 2 options now:
- Live with it and have long syncing times with a lot of data transfer.
- Delete everything on the NW-A105 and sync anew (another 16 h) and hope the issue is gone.
Pretty confusing for me, hopefully I could make my point clear.
