I've previously been simply copying new music to my phone then letting MMA find it when I open it but it takes a long time to scan so I'm trying sync from MMW.
I followed the wiki article, connect phone, setup sync profile then perform SD card sync as it's faster. Upon completion I put the SD card back in the phone and opened MMA. Completely empty library, no songs, no playlists. So I let MMA scan, It's added everything I think.
My question is when I now add new music after this initial sync I'll be using USB sync directly to the phone. Will this sync method automatically update the MMA database or will it have to scan when I first open MMA after sync every time? I got the impression sync updates everything on the MMA database so MMA doesn't then need to do the painfully long media scan so I'm hoping this is just how the initial sync works?
