Author Topic: Send To Device not working for playlists  (Read 2139 times)

I have an LG V20 phone running Android Oreo (8.0.0) and have the latest version of MB running on my system.  When I choose playlists in the Sync settings, it copies them over fine.  If I go to a specific album and right click on it, go to Send To and then Device V20, it ends it over fine.  However, if I go to my playlists tab and right click a specific playlist, go to Send To and then Device V20, nothing happens.  It never sends the files to the phone.

Is there something I should be doing when it comes to the playlists?  I don't want to set up auto-sync, at least not till I have everything the way I want it, so I'm just manually sending files to my phone, and I find it odd that everything else works, including manual syncing of albums, just not playlists.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I can reproduce this in certain circumstances.
This should fix the issue:

unzip and replace the existing musicbee files

Hi Steven, thanks for the response.

I had already installed the patch, but did it again just to make sure it took, and I am still running into the same issue with the playlists.

Just double checked and yeah, the patch is installed.  I'm going to do a un/reinstall and see if maybe something got borked on this end at some point.  Thanks again for the help, and for MusicBee in general.  Even if I never get this part working, I can always use auto-sync once I get my library situated, as this really is the best music manager/player I've used.

Good morning Steven,

I un/reinstalled everything and I am still having the same issue.  However, I did notice that it does work if I click on the first tab (Music) and go down to Playlists and right click on the playlist in that list, but if I have the Playlist Explorer open in its own tab, it doesn't work through there.  I also tried using a USB drive, and the same thing happens - clicking on the Music tab and selecting them from that list works, the Playlist tab on its own nothing happens.

Did you reinstall the latest 3.2 patch?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I just did.  I thought I grabbed the latest, but it didn't overwrite.  Just installed it and everything is now working great.  Thanks for all the help!!

Glad you finally got it sorted out. You probably could've just applied the patch without un/re-installing. Something to remember for next time. Always apply the patch first.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
