Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

Is it normal that the App keeps syncing same files over and over, despite they've just been synced already? Are there any file changes being done when you play music in musicbee and it registers that as a file change so it wants to sync it?

Or I'll ask like this: how does Musicbee Wifi Sync know which file was synced or not, or if there are changes?

There are files in your MB AppData folder for each device.  One of these is a MBL file - MusicBee Library.  This keeps track of what's been put on the device and when the version on the device was updated.

Each time you change a file in any way - change a tag, add or edit artwork, add or edit lyrics,etc (even automatically if your settings do this)  - it updates the "Date Modified" date of the file in Windows.  MB compares the "Date Modified" of the file on your computer to the date of the version on the device.  If the "Date Modified" on your computer is more recent than the version on the device, the file will be resynched.

Thank you, I've thought about that being the case, but the thing is I don't edit ID3 tags of those files, nor even play them. The "modified date" hasn't been changed for over a year. And yet they're always resynced. I've also tried unsyncing (deleting) all playlists from the phone (samsung a50) and then trying to sync playlists one by one. It doesn't happen with all playlists, just specific ones, but have no idea why.

So is this topic of the possibility deleting playlists at sync (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=28093.msg172945#msg172945) somehow a taboo topic or is it a choice by design ?

I've found a similar question without any answers: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=25075.0

Hello,

I'm in the final stage to switch from iTunes/iSyncr to MusicBee since Wi-Fi syncing is important to me. Device is Samsung Galaxy A50, Android 9, I sync to internal storage.

I sync selected playlists. The tracks are synced fine, also changes to the playlists, but I noticed that when I uncheck a certain playlist (so it'll get deleted from device), the tracks are deleted but not the playlist file. That means that an empty playlist gets displayed in the music player (Poweramp in my case). Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting for that? Tracks are put into /Internal storage/Music then respective folders based on Artist, Playlists are put into Music/ but I also tried making a separate folder like Playlists with no change regarding deletion.

Here's a screenshot of my Devices/Configure/Settings configuration : https://imgur.com/a/ikoTw0E

I've synced one test playlist first, then unselected it for removal and selected a 2nd playlist for syncing. The tracks of the first playlist were removed, but not the playlist file itself. The 2nd playlist tracks and playlist file was copied as expected.

Here's a Debug log of the sync:

This part is what's odd for me:

Code
11:15:05: getFiles: Get: Music/Playlists/,url=/storage/emulated/0/Music/Playlists/, inc=false
11:15:05: getFiles: count=0

It returns count 0 despite there's a .m3u playlist file in there. Shouldn't this be detected and shown on the preview for removal and remove it after sync?

Also a feedback on the MusicBee Wifi Sync app, not such a big of a deal, but I noticed it when testing. When you want to remove a single synced playlist on the device, it won't let you if you just uncheck it, unless you sync another playlist. So if I sync Test1 to device, then want to remove it, I have to sync at least one another. I guess this doesn't matter much later on when having multiple playlists, but it kinda confused me at the beginning.
