Thanks so much everyone for your input - i'll read up and use all those when i get the playlists onto android working.
Can i just check these following queries so i make sure im not missing anything on setup
1. Is there a best practice way to clear my library from music bee & my device so im starting a fresh 1st sync from itunes into music bee - then sync music bee all selected playlists & music onto android / poweramp? I'm thinking i just delete the music folder on my device & maybe just uninstall & reinstall music bee?
2. Should i use the same file format itunes autoorganise uses - album artist - artist - track number title? I changed it in music bee device sync settings, but think this might be my issue with playlist on device not finding the music. Can anyone can verify i have the other device settings correct from that 1st Imgur screenshot (e.g relative path ticked, etc) & If i change the folder to the same folder structure as itunes - then run the first wired sync - the music & playlists should all copy over (i'll create a playlists folder outside of music too) - and link up in poweramp. Theoretically?
2.5 p.s I would like to get away from itunes autoorganise, but as everything is setup and i have a huge amount of smart playlists setup for harmonic djing that arent getting copied over - it seems wise to not change the file structure at this point - until i get the integration of music bee working with everything else
3. Instead of running the whole music sync is there a simple way to just test a small section after importing itunes library and playlists into music bee (or before)
4. re reverse syncing via wifi app - (haven't got to that yet but its installed) - will this work with the fact my internet for my laptop is tethering off my mobile data (unlimited tethering)? I don't have the usual wired connection as i live on narrowboat but wifi sync worked with mediamonkey so hope its the same for music bee.
Main thing is getting playlists to connect to music. The music files on the playlists are all definitely in the music folder - and being recognised to play using other options - just not when playing from the playlist. I'm going to manually delete everything on the phone and run the sync music & all selected playlists again - soon as i know my settings are correct. When i get that done i need to find a way of importing all my music monkey playlists which is another / different library
Many thanks
