You'll probably get better help with using MediaMonkey at MediaMonkey's forum.I went over there for help but dang each post has to be moderated so i waited at least 12 hours for my post to be approved so it took forever to get a reply so i replied to that post and now that post is in moderation. The conversation is going nowhere fast.
thanks. but I can't find it. I'm on 5.Is there a way to choose which playlists get synced on Media Monkey? it only gives me the selection to sync all of them.I haven't used it in many years, but on my old version (4.1) it's Tools->Options->Portable Device Sync->[Select Your Device]...Configure...Auto-Sync (Device)...Playlists {at the left} and then you select the playlists.
Oh yeah? I know he said there wasn't any pending updates. But I wasn't' sure why. If i had tons of money to throw around I would buy him a device so he could get the necessary updates done. but I'm on a disability income. Do you use Media Monkey? I miss the customizations on MusicBee. There isn't much to customize on Monkey. And there's no VU meter. Is there a way to choose which playlists get synced on Media Monkey? it only gives me the selection to sync all of them.Poweramp just got updated because of Android 12 so i wonder if Musicbee Wifi app can be updated as well. I can select folders with Poweramp.Last I heard Steven doesn't have access to Android 12. I'm assuming at some point in the future that will change. But I wouldn't sit around waiting for a fix if the Monkey works for you.
Yes I have a Galaxy S21 on Android 12. Poweramp just got updated because of Android 12 so i wonder if Musicbee Wifi app can be updated as well. I can select folders with Poweramp.But if i use Media Monkey I have to use it for everything right? Like the library won't stay in sync with Musicbee's right?Correct. But then again, you'll be able to sync to your device.
I saw that you mentioned Android 12, Is that what's on your device? Search the forum as I recall there are some things Google put in A12 that MB can't handle.
I use Cheetah Sync to sync photos to my phone and tablet. it still works to sync from the computer to the devices. Been looking for an alternative that's easy to use. haven't tried SMBSync2. does that one work with Musicbee?I used Cheetah Sync previously, although not with MB, but I don't see why I wouldn't work. You have it. You know how to use it. So try it out.
As for SMBSync2, again - I have no need to use it with MB, but I see no reason why it won't work to sync music files and playlists between a PC and the device.
The only issue I can see with both programs is that you'll have to make sure the music files referenced in the playlists are included in the music file sync since a playlist is nothing more than a text file. The playlist by itself does not know while music files to transfer. Which is why MB (or as Steven mentioned) Media Monkey are the preferred methods. If all you were doing was syncing your music files, both Cheetah and SMBSync would suffice.
try using media monkey or a specialist syncing appI've happily been using SMBSync2 for a number of months after Cheetah Sync stopped working. It's free with no ads. I don't use it to sync music as MB does that for me. But it can do it. It will sync in either direction. There's a bit of a learning curve, but you should be able to figure it out. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. You might get lucky and I'll know the answer. :-)

try using media monkey or a specialist syncing appI installed media monkey last night. and it's confusing figuring the sync out. I can't see a way to select which playlists to sync. it just syncs all of them. which isn't good because if i use it on my tablet it will run out of storage space for sure. And then windows did an update and restarted and then it took a few hours of trying to get the app to reconnect to the program again. the program kept saying it was disconnected or something like that. finally got it working and got the playlists synced. it put them in a different playlist folder so i have duplicates now. I just don't know what to do next time the app doesn't want to connect to the program on the computer again. I even closed the program out and reopened it a bunch of times. when i woke up from my nap it was connected again. bad thing about media monkey is it costs money for a bunch of features I don't have much money as it is. Plus the app costs money on top of that.
It sounds to me like you haven't ticked the playlist in the device settings.I have the playlists selected. I triple checked and quadruple checked., But i see all the playlists get synced in the sync window but on the phone nothing shows up in the file explorer or in Poweramp. it worked awhile back after i reset my phone and had to sync everything back. But now I need to do more syncing as i hadn't got done yet.
How am I supposed to know that?Sorry I was just wondering and didn't know if you knew.
My GUESS would be that PowerAmp is READING the music folder and MB is WRITING TO the music folder. But why are you addressing this to me? Seems to me you already got an answer from the guy who wrote the program.
Just having conversation. Your speculation makes sense. Musicbee could be asking for read and write permissions. Perhaps Steven has some insight on it.
Your best bet is to add your voice to the linked thread on Google's issue tracker. If they're going insist on locking the permissions, it is not something that can be figured out.I went to setup Poweramp and selected the music folder in the same file explorer window as Musicbee WIFI and I selected it and it accepted it. How is it that it works for Poweramp but not Musicbee Wifi?
