Out of curiousity, when you add a playlist containing tracks that aren't on the device to the auto-sync list, do the Tracks sync, but the playlist appears empty? Or are the tracks also not syncing?
The problem has been resolved now (more about that in a bit), but when it was happening, the tracks would
not sync. Specifically, when a new playlist was created (on MMW), nothing would download (in MMA) and the playlist would show as empty, and more strangely, any change to an existing playlist (on MMW) would result in a suddenly "empty" playlist (in MMA) and neither downloads nor deletes would occur.
Please note that I'm still a relative newcomer to MediaMonkey, and I don't fully understand all the various options, so please bear with me if I have trouble following you or if I describe something incorrectly. When you ask about the "auto-sync list," is that the "Sync list (Library -> Device)" section in MMW? I do not believe I am using any "auto-sync" feature and I'm not sure exactly what that does or how it operates. I only ever perform a manual sync from MMA on my phone.
Anyway, for the problem resolution: the first thing I found that I was missing -- with Lowlander's help -- was selecting the new playlists in the "Sync list (Library -> Device)" section. Prior to updating that list, I couldn't even see the new playlists in MMA, which was very confusing. After updating that list, I was able to see the new playlists, but now (after performing a sync) they showed up in MMA as empty.
The other thing I found was that I had somehow messed up some settings in MMA - probably when I had to factory reset my phone a few months ago and reinstall everything. Fortunately, my wife's phone also runs MMA against the same MMW library, so I just went through her phone and mirrored the "Library & Sync" settings back to mine, and now everything seems to be working again. Unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly what I updated, but maybe that'll be enough for you to figure out what I did.
Thanks,
Steve
