Portable Devices / "allow musicbee wifi sync to modify this audio file"

« on: May 11, 2025, 09:37:10 PM »

Hi!

I'm attempting to use the MusicBee wifi sync on my phone for the first time. For literally every song so far (I lost patience at around 30), a message pops up with the album art and the text "allow musicbee wifi sync to modify this audio file?" and "deny", "allow" options.

This is not sustainable for a library full of 52k songs. Is there a way around this? As far as I know, I have granted all permissions.

Thanks!

Portable Devices / Sync Playlists with Repeat Songs

« on: March 28, 2025, 01:08:26 AM »

Hi MusicBee family!

A few of my playlists have the same song multiple times in said playlist. I noticed when I sync these playlists, the song that repeats only shows up once in the playlist! I have searched the sync settings, searched the forum, but no dice. Can anyone help me make sure ALL my playlist songs (including duplicates) get synced to my phone's playlists?

For reference, I use Musicolet as my phone media player. No problems aside from this.

Thanks!

This is similar to the issue I'm having.

So they are already set to M3U. I'm wondering if the sheer number of playlists is a problem and that's why it stopped at 10% of them. Could I try syncing the playlists in batches? Or will it remove playlists I don't have checked off in the sync menu?

Sad update: Only the first 16 of my playlists actually transferred

A lot easier than reconstructing them from scratch lol

I went through and manually duplicated my playlists. Right click on a playlist, click duplicate. Delete old playlist, rename new playlist getting rid of "(copy)".
For example:
Right click "Christmas" playlist. Click duplicate. New playlist, "Christmas (copy)" will appear. Delete "Christmas", then rename "Christmas (copy)" to just "Christmas" and voila!

UPDATE: I made a "Test Playlist" through MusicBee and it synced to my phone just like it is supposed to.
SO is there a way to duplicate the 162 playlists I currently have in MusicBee to "trick" it into having them be playlists made through the app without having to meticulously reconstruct thousands of hours of playlists? I feel close to solving the problem! Thanks all.

EDIT: I FIGURED IT OUT!!! I couldn't have done it without yall. Thanks so darn much! Seems like I've found a super cool community in MusicBee.

just curious.... Are the playlists static playlists or smart/auto playlist?  Mostly curious to know if the playlists are populated in musicbee when attempting to sync.  Empty playlists I don't think will sync, so just something I wondered.

They are playlists I built, originally in iTunes. I'm wondering if that is the issue somehow. But I'm not sure how to fix it, if so.

I've tried that, too. No dice. I'm at wit's end with this lol but I don't want to give up. I'm just not sure what else to try.

Oops I meant to do a backslash. Yes those are the settings and file paths I currently have. I tried another sync just a half hour or so ago with those.
Sorry I'm not super well-versed in this stuff. I appreciate your time.

I changed the file path to just "Music/Playlists" and tried another sync. Nothing again.

Playlists directory has always been directly under music. Here is the link to the screenshot

A screenshot of the settings tab would be good.



Does the Music\Playlists folder on your device have any files in it after attempting a sync?

The playlists folder has no files in it after attempting a sync except "Recently Added". And that is the only playlist that shows on my media player, as well.

Here is a copy of the settings, and proof that the folder exists even though the settings tab says it doesn't.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to post an image in here that isn't from the internet. But I can provide the other information.

There's a link in my signature regarding how to post screenshots.
Basically upload the screenshot to imgur.com, copy the link and paste it here.

Version: 3.5.8447 Store
My sync preferences are my entire library and all my playlists, and I have a specific folder for playlists on the device.
End result format is M3U
Yes it is an android phone.
I initially tried it with Poweramp, now I am trying it with Symfonium.

Using the Store version you can't update to the latest MB version. At some point the Store version will be updated to v3.6.x but until then you'll have to stick to that or switch to the Portable version, which gets updated frequently - at least once a week.

As BoringName said, change the location of the Playlists directory on the phone. Place it directly under Music.

How do I switch to a portable version?

Seems I'm  stil a Beta tester for Rocket Player from JRT studios, who also have a WiFi sync with iTunes App.
The developer (in Texas) was always quick to fix any issues, is:-

RIP JRT studios. Idk what happened but it is SO different now. Trying to charge $15/week for iSyncr and Rocket Player
