Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

« on: October 14, 2023, 07:35:54 AM »

The My Files app on android won't allow me to do a two way wifi sync. Saying I need to select the SD card root folder and not one of it's sub folders. From what I've read here in the forum this doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. At least until google decides to let us have write permission on our own devices.

Wondering if we could get around this by using as an alternate file management app. The wifi sync app defaults to using the android file management. Any chance we could add an option to select the file management app we want to use for wifi sync?

Portable Devices / Two Way Sync Is Greyed Out

« on: September 22, 2023, 11:52:16 PM »

Two way sync is greyed out. I use wired sync. Haven't been able to get wifi sync to work. Not opposed to using it. Just can't get it to locate my phone. Did everything I've been told. Turned off firewall, musicbee is running, wifi sync is turned on, vpns are turned off. No luck. Anyways not my point. Is there anyway to do a two way wired sync? If not is this something that can be added? Would it be difficult? Willing to pay $$ for it to be added. I really just want it so I can view play counts.

Questions / Re: Transfer of Changed Start/End Times To Phone

Thanks guys. I mostly have mp3 files. Think my best option is to use a mp3 trimmer and create a whole new file.

I have the same question. Has there been any updates since this was posted in 2017 that would allow custom start/end times to transfer to poweramp?

Swapped out the sd card and sync is working fine now:)

Darn:( I think you're right. Just tried another sync. This time it got to the end and I got an error citing that an object is not attached to the device. I'll get another sd card and let you know how it goes.

Appreciate your help frankz!

So I left my device to usb sync over night and when I got up, the sync had failed, citing an invalid date and time. The sync made it all the way through the file list and appears to have failed at the very end.

I'm trying the wifi sync now but it is even slower than the wired sync.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply frankz.

The scan was taking a long time so I tried deleting my library from my device. It jumps right into syncing files but they are taking significantly longer than they were the first time I synced a few months back. I agree, 3 hours isn't so bad for that much data. I was pleasently suprised the first time I synced at how quick it was. Hoping I can figure out how to get that speed back.

I'll give the wifi sync a try. I always assume a usb or ethernet connection is faster and more reliable than wireless so I haven't bothered with it. Suprised to hear that it is exponentially faster in this case!

Questions / Re: Track information missing after volume analysis

Thanks for your input. I don't know what the cause was. I just re-tagged the affected tracks. If it happens again I will update.

Portable Devices / Slow Sync with Android Device

« on: August 04, 2022, 04:53:32 AM »

I have about 18000 tracks in my library and I was able to sync them all to my android device (sd card) in ~30 minutes on my first sync a few months back. I don't remember making any changes to my sync settings since then. I'm trying to sync my device again but it's taking ~3 hours now. Anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing my sync speed to slow down. (I'm using the same SS-USB port as before)

See link for my current settings.

Questions / Track information missing after volume analysis

« on: June 24, 2022, 08:47:59 PM »

I just performed a volume analysis on my entire library and about 1% of my library now has an empty track title.

I also have several tracks that now have no information at all. These ones in particular show no playlists when I select "locate in playlist" but when I attempted to add them back to the correct playlists I get a popup indicating "duplicate track detected". I opened up said playlist and sure enough the track is there. I go back and check "locate in playlist" once again and still shows nothing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks phred! Appreciate the response. Feels like a silly question now that I have played around with MB a bit more.

Beyond MusicBee / Android music player that allows playlists to be organized into folders

« on: June 22, 2022, 04:40:32 AM »

I recently switched to MB from iTunes and am loving it so far.

There is only one thing I miss and that is the ability to organize my playlists into folders on my portable music player app. I have all of my playlists organized in this way in MB but when I sync to my Android device they all end up in one single folder. That is inconvenient but not a huge deal as I can just reorganize them manually back into the correct folders which I have done.

Problem is I can't find a music player that will scan my playlist folders and display them in the same hierarchy. Every app I have tried just displays all of my playlists in one list. I have a lot of playlists so it makes it difficult to navigate. Does anybody know of an app that will allow me to do this?

Portable Devices / Syncing PC to Android Device

« on: June 14, 2022, 09:52:42 PM »

I just downloaded MB to my pc. I've been an itunes user with an ipod since I was a youngster so this is all new to me. Planning to purchase a Sony DAC but before I do so, I want to test things out on my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S10e).

I guess my first question is how do I sync music from the pc MB app to the MB remote app on my phone. So far I've been able to connect my device successfully and I am able to transfer files to my phones internal storage. Now I am trying to figure out what I need to do so that I can play those files on my phone using the MB remote app? Essentially I want to use the PC app to manage my library and just transfer music and playlists onto my phone.
