I know it can be complicated but till MMA 2.0 is best we have thought about.

Even when I changed it from "unselected" to "all other", it did not remove the deleted items from the folder tree.

Do you have Force Sync mask enabled?

I do now...
I just completed a sync with that on, no change to the file tree.

Hi,

You got me curious and I would like to get ti bottom of it.

The sync should remove the files from MMA/the device when deleted from MMW.

You can also set enforce Sync mask on existing files in device profile under Sync Options -> File Location.

The file location set in the sync profile for Music is

\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track #:2> <Artist> - <Title>

Behavior is normal as if Tags in MMA are correctly updated, but path do not it is due the fact that MM5 evaded non needed resync of files and save time for new syncs.

Hi,
If tags are OK in MM5 you just need to remove files in MMA and resync.

It didn't worked for you as you deleted files in MM5 -> read them as that way you treated files as new so MMA will not be affected. That also explains why when you removed files from MMA it synced correctly.

Ok, update:
I deleted the album from MMW5 with the option to remove the files from the drive as well as the info from the database, and ensured that the tracks were gone from the library, playlist(s) and disk, then synced. Sync options are set to remove unselected library files.

The full album was still in MMA.

I deleted the album from MMA, and the misfiled files on the device, including their individual folders, were then removed.

I then re-added the tracks to MMW5 and then synced, and they're placed in the correct places. Here's where it goes sideways again:

In the process of this, I realized that the name of the band was incorrect on another album and fixed it in MMW5. On the desktop, the database and the files themselves on the drive were updated with the new name and path. Synced, and the files were NOT renamed or moved on the phone. Changing the sync to remove all other media files and syncing did not move the renamed items on the phone.

The tagging in MMA appears to be updating correctly, but not the file folder directory when retagging media changes the file path on the desktop or removing media from MMW.

Hi,
Looking at your ticket can you please share filoe location screen settings from you profile eg. this one:


I suspect that sync mask was wrong initially and that it transferred like that to device.

Sorry for the delay, work has been crazy for me this week.
