I got one question. Does MB check for existing files on Android or will it copy everything again with a new sync? The reason why I ask is, that it seems to me, that it copy files again, with every new sync, insteed skipping already existing files. And that waste a lot of time, with a lot of songs. Maybe my settings are wrong?!

Hi Steven,
are you planning a playcount sync to GoneMadPlayer?
It's because, if you have a song played in MB a thousand times GMP doesn't know.
And when I'm playing song in GMP, it will count from zero. So, when I sync back to MB,
MB won't recognize the new plays and doesn't increase playcount.

You already asked and i already said no. When you sync back from GMP or PoweAmp, its incremental ie. it adds to the existing MB playcount. Did you actually try it?

Yes. It worked. Version I tested before didn't. Thank you!

Hi Steven.
Snycing works good now. But one question. Does MB sync playcount also to GMP? I've synced a song to GMP with MB playcount 1. But GMP playcount shows already 0.

i can see i need to make one more change on the android side, so will do that

edit:
v0.5.8
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4700978781087552506

the device name override prompt should now appear after "Locate" fails for the first time.

Thanks Steven!
Seems to work fine now! Also playcount sync with GMP.

The device does not need to be rooted.

Again, it really looks like you don't have the latest versions of BOTH the app and MB.
If you are indeed running the latest versions
- Have you run at least one wired sync between MB and the device?
- After the wired sync have you enabled 'wifi transfer' in device preferences?

I've installed both versions Steven linked as latest, a few posts before. App Version is 0.5.7.

1. I tried with older/official app version. I grant Access to my phone.

2. I tried Wi-Fi sync and get message "Run wired sync first". Connected my phone and let it pass the firewall. MB shows Nokia 8 and I enabled WiFi for Android. I made a wired sync and it works.

3. I disconnected USB and tried Wi-Fi sync again. I get message
 "Run wired sync first" again and nothing happend.

4. I installed version 0.5.7, cleaned cache. Did wired sync again, which worked. Tried Wi-Fi sync again and nothing happend.

I don't get behind the screen, where I can choose between internal and external memory. I don't have a settings button at this screen, so I can't tell MB, that TA-1012 is Nokia 8. The only thing, I didn't try is to reinstall MB on my desktop.

Is it necessary, that device is rooted? Cause my device is unrooted.

Maybe, I don't know exactly, which settings window you mean. Android app has no settings window. I can choose only between internal and external storage. In MB I find only a way, to change the path.

It sounds like you're not using the latest version of the Android app. It has an icon of a wrench on the upper right side - next to the menu (three vertical dots.) Tap it and you can choose between internal and removable storage and there's a line to enter then name of the device as displayed in MB. Also make sure you have the latest patch for MB. You can get that from my sig.

Hi, Phred.
I'm using 0.5.7, after Steven added me and also latest MB patch. I also cleared cache, deinstalled and reinstalled a few times and the only screen I get, when I start the app, is the one below. No screen before, no after. No three dots, no other settings. The only thing when I start first time, is asking for access, which I confirm with yes.

I don't get it to work. MB is stilll searching for TA-1012 as device, not for Nokia 8. My desktop shows also Nokia 8 as device, but Nokia internal call itself TA-1012 and MB shows Nokia 8 but looks for TA-1012 not Nokia 8.

if you edited the name in the Settings window to "Nokia 8" then I find what you say very hard to believe and wont be able to help further

I have added the ability to override the device name in the Settings window, so change it to Nokia 8 there

v0.5.7
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4700978781087552506

Also I suggest you update the patch version so its not logging the debug info:
https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee33_Patched.zip

I would like to give it a try, but get message by google store, that's not available for my account. Just for invited members or so.

MB shows Nokia 8 and Android shows Nokia 8. Tried with internal and external storage.

can you run this debug patch version of MB:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/jptxb7wdb1603pz/MusicBeeWifiDebug.zip/file
unzip and replace the existing musicbee file

send me the info added to the end of the MB error log (help/ support/ view error log) after attempting a wireless sync and the failure message displayed on the device

model=TA-1012, config=Virtuelles Laufwerk (MP3TMP)*
model=TA-1012, config=G:\*
model=TA-1012, config=STEFFI*
model=TA-1012, config=Nokia 8*
TA-1012 not matched

I think, I know where the problem is. My device name is Nokia 8, but model and hardware is signed as TA-1012

Hi, Steven.
I tried Wi-Fi Sync on my Nokia 8 with pure Android 9,
but I only got message "Run a wired sync from MusicBee first and then try Wifi Sync again.". I've done wired sync a few times, but nothing happens. I use v.0.4.3 and latest Musicbee.

when you do a wired sync, what is the exact device name that MB displays and how does it compare to the android device name displayed in Settings/About Phone/device name ?

MB shows Nokia 8 and Android shows Nokia 8. Tried with internal and external storage.
