Tools - Edit tags - Update tags...
I used the above function for all files
It took quite some time, but the timestamps of all files were changed.
And this gave me hope that it would give me the results I wanted.
However, even after synchronization with the device was completed, the tags of the device's files did not change.
I checked the 'Only for files with changed timestamp or size' option, scanned and synced the library, and the result was the same.
I unchecked the 'Only for files with changed timestamp or size' option, scanned and synced the library, and the result was the same.
Then, I discovered something.
Although the tag fields shown in MMA are limited, commonly used tag fields such as 'Genre' appear to be properly synchronized.
To check the remaining tag fields, I copied the device file to the PC and opened its properties.
It does not match the PC library file.
Timestamp shows September of last year
Since then, there have been several tag modifications on PC.
Because I used the suggested 'Tools - Edit tags - Update tags...' function yesterday, the timestamp of the PC library file is yesterday.
In MMA, tag fields such as 'Genre' appear to be synced as expected, but the files on the device have not changed.
In other words, does that mean that even if I edit and synchronize tags on my PC, MMA does not directly modify the file after the initial download?
When I checked with another Android media player, it displayed the tags recorded in the file, not the content displayed in MMA.
Assuming that the files on my PC have been deleted and I want to restore them using the files on the device, if I copy the files myself, what happens to all the tags that have been modified or added?
Since the modified tags are recorded in the MMA database, does it need to be restored by synchronizing MMA and MMW for full recovery?
Does it mean that if the MMA database is lost, or the SD card is directly connected to another device or PC, all the tags that have been modified or added will be lost?
I'm so confused right now
