Questions / Playlist reverse sync using android file path
« on: April 01, 2020, 11:57:41 AM »
Hi there I've spent a day on this, very confusing and frustrating, so please can someone help. I have:

Music folder with /artist/album - title.mp3 structure for files

MusicBee added this folder as library on pc

Poweramp installed on Android

Resilio sync installed on Android and PC

Any playlists created on MusicBee syncs to phone and playlist music plays on both devices.

Any playlists I make on Poweramp (or gmmp) work on the phone but when they sync to MusicBee the filenames in the .mpu playlist file are android's - F:/storage/emulated/0/Phone Music.

Firstly I thought Poweramp suposedly uses relative filenames but it's not, weird.

Secondly I have tried using the map on export to find and replace the android part to match the windows file path as my end game is auto exporting the playlists into a playlists folder in the music folder so Sonos picks it up on its daily sync. I got this all working with mediamonkey but I don't like the UI. The mapping only seems to work sporadically and it's time consuming and awkward to test with trial and error and little documentation. Here's what I'm pretty much trying in the two fields:

F:\storage\emulated\0\Phone Music\

and

..\..\..\..\

But it doesn't change anything in the exported .mpu, though I have managed to change the output, but not to what I needed it to be.

Forgetting Sonos and the export static copy of playlists, shouldn't the reverse sync for playlists work between fresh installs of MusicBee and Poweramp out of the box.

Is it worth me felting and reinstalling from scratch?

Thanks for reading this and your time

Hi there, I would like a new checkbox in the global playlist settings section to

'Enable "auto export playlist static copy" on new playlists by default'

This would allow me to create playlists in PowerAmp on the go and sync them back to my desktop library, which in turn would get a static copy saved in my music library folder, which in turn then gets picked up by sonos.

At the moment I have to create the playlist on the computer so I can select this option, making it impossible to make playlists on the go to appear in Sonos.

I'm a web developer so I have an idea that this wouldn't be massive complicated to set the flag for this checkbox to 1 when a new playlist is created, so please can you consider adding this feature.

Thanks for reading
