Don't have a lot of hope on a resolution but thought I'd give it a shot.
I'm using a USB drive to play music in my Ford with Sync. All in all it works well. However, I recently added an album and tried to find it and, despite it being on the USB drive, it was not indexed by SYNC. I tried several things to get this to work - renaming the album, shrinking the artwork, etc, but it just won't show up. I added one of the tracks to a different playlist and THAT song now appears in the playlist, but I still can't find the album (curious now if I display the details of that song what album shows up - will have to check).
I wondered what else might be missing so I made a quick check of how many songs are showing in each playlist in SYNC vs what I actually have in MM. Nearly every playlist was missing songs.
What's really odd is I have one playlist with on 7 songs. 6 appear in SYNC. The one that's missing is from the same album as another that does appear:
This song appears:
Filename: 20 Anya Taylor-Joy - Downtown (Uptempo).mp3
Tag name: Downtown (Uptempo)
This song doesn't:
Filename: 21 Anya Taylor-Joy - You’re My World.mp3
Tag name: You’re My World
Both have the same album name, same size artwork, etc. I was expecting to find a weird character, too long of a name, or some other identifier but there is nothing unusual.
Another weird one, this Beatles song:
The Long One (Trial Edit & Mix – 30 July 1969)
Does not appear on the Album it's part of but does appear in a different playlist.
I've mentioned here two songs that don't appear in one playlist but does in another. Those secondary playlists are, themselves, missing tracks. Very strange.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?
