Syncing playlists from MMA to MMW gives wrong files

Post by thathobo »

Last year, I moved from an old computer to a new one and did a large cleanup of my music files to organize them better on my new computer. I have since added many new music files and it's now time to update my phone's media library.

However, I have spent hundreds of hours making playlists, and don't want to redo them all from scratch. Hence, I want to copy the existing playlists from my MMA to MMW.

When attempting to sync playlists from MMA to MMW over USB through the latest version of MMW's "Sync List Device->Library" and selecting only the playlists, the playlists copy over, but the songs in those playlists are completely wrong on MMW. The songs in question exist on both MMA and MMW, but the file paths are of course different, being on different devices.

What could cause this oddity? How can I solve it?

You may be facing issues syncing playlists between MediaMonkey for Android (MMA) and MediaMonkey for Windows (MMW) due to different file paths. Ensure MMW’s library is updated by rescanning your music files, and consider exporting playlists from MMA to import into MMW. If syncing still doesn't work, you might need to recreate the playlists in MMW using your original playlists as a reference.

Thank you for your reply.

Is it possible to export playlists from MMA? I know how to do so from MMW, but can't seem to find how to do so on Android. Or, is this done while the MMA device is connected to MMW, and I can't find the option there either?
