PATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED BY STEVEN BUT NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY APPLIED.
So i finally figured out how to solve the issue with playlists turning up empty on android 10 after syncing.
Short and simple, the file addresses in the playlist file (m3u) need to be using the UNIX style file addresses, aka a forward slash with a relative address.
Basically
This will not work:
C:\Users\Veer\Music\3 Doors Down\3 Doors Down\3 Doors Down - CitizenSoldier.mp3
But this will:
../Music/3 Doors Down/3 Doors Down/3 Doors Down - CitizenSoldier.mp3
===================================
I've started manually running my playlists through a find and replace tool to get my phone to pick them up, but to say that is a hassle is an understatement.
Mediamonkey already allows playlists to be formatted in the manner when syncing, however, Mediamonkey needs to recopy every song every time it syncs... That is just insane.
So under device syncing options in Musicbee, an option to have playlists sync with relative file addresses ../ and unix style file addresses / would solve the problem.
The current relative style address Mediamonkey uses omits the two dots at the beginning of each address, and that prevents the playlist from working.
Regards.
