Since I updated to the 2.5.5.721 version I have been unable to locate the option that shows which playlists I want to sync to my device when I connect it. Could someone please tell me where I can find that and the sync options at? I believe it used to be under "Devices" but if it was it is not under there anymore.

Device settings always have been, and still are, under Devices but will only show up if you have a device connected.  I don't know what version you updated from, but there have been a couple of changes relating to devices, but these changes were made months, if not a year ago.  First change is that you can have multiple device profiles saved between MB sessions.  I have two devices, with different music and playlist options.  The other change is that you don't have to have the device connected in order to configure sync settings.

If not connected, Edit > Preferences > Devices > (select device) > Configure > Music


If connected, select device from Devices at the bottom of the left panel and the main panel will bring up the various options

Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I did not know you had to be connected now. I had already looked under Devices but there were no devices to select from. Basically what I need to do is connect my device, then set the playlist to sync then hit the sync button.....

The device will show up under Devices (in the left panel) only when a device is connected.  You can use the Edit > Preferences etc method when no device is connected.

When no device is connected there are no options under Edit > Preferences, there are no devices listed and there is nothing else to select. Nothing shows up until after I connect a device.

What we'd like to see is a screenshot of the device settings window.  Edit > Preferences > Devices.  It should look similar to the very first screenshot I posted in this thread.
