I'm trying to do something simple, but running into a odd issue. I have my music library on my android in my SD card's "\media\music" folder. All I want to sync is my MMW5 music library, and I set the save location for "Music" in the SD card Devices settings (in MMW5) to "\media\music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track #:2> - <Title>". For some reason, songs that are not in the library are still getting downloaded to \Music. Oddly, some songs were correctly added to the "/media/music" folder, but I can't tell what the difference between the ones that work properly and the others is.
In MMA, I've changed the "Library folders" settings repeatedly to include ONLY SD card's "media\music", but the program constantly overwrites those settings, adding back Internal Storage's "/Music" and "/Video", as well as SD card's "/Music/Audiobooks", "/Music/Classical", "/Music/Podcasts", and "/Video". This is very frustrating, and I can't tell if it might be in some way related to the problem I'm having. Somewhere, something seems hard-coded to use "/Music".
Anyway, every time I sync, these same songs are written again, presumably because they don't match anything in the library (which doesn't include "/Music"). I've verified this by changing the album artist on one of the albums and resyncing, and it created another copy of one song from an album that is already in "/media/music", as well as downloading all the other /Music songs again.
