Sorry to revive this again, I have just had another somewhat related issue:
I renamed a directory on my sd card (2021 -> Jan 2021),
Songs present in a playlist that were no longer detected could no longer be seen in that playlist on my phone. I would have expected to have a 'file not found' message instead of them being removed from the playlist altogether. Luckily, the m3u file still had the old locations. So to remedy this I had to either move the files back, or manually edit the m3u file with the new file locations.
This worked fine with older playlists containing a mixture of detected and non detected files. With new playlists containing only non-detected files (i.e. playlist with files that had been moved), the playlist was deleted altogether and had to be recreated from scratch.
...
Edit: Upon further inspection it seems the actual files were deleted altogether. I can't tell whether MMA did this or an error with windows when connected to the phone by USB. Annoying that android took out the option to mount the SD card... Regardless, the 'track inaccessible' message would have been useful.
