Hi Gordol,
I can't replicate the behavior you're describing (I tested both with regular and auto-playlists). If a playlist in MMW is empty then sync operations always either delete the playlist in MMA (bug 18526) or empty it.
Any idea what may be different about this particular playlist/config? Or is this never working for you?

Re: Does not empty emptied playlist on sync [#20061]
It has never worked for me with MMW5 on the desktop. There is probably ticket history from me about this on the support site.

Now on b1097. Issue persists. Smart Playlist that is empty in MMW has one track in MMA.
Empty playlists not synced
I don't know if it's a bug or as designed but if I have a playlist on my PC that is empty it gets deleted on my phone.
For some people it's probably not an issue but I number my playlists so they appear in specific order on my phone (eg. '01 Playlist', '02 Playlist' etc) and a couple of them are smart playlists which often end up with nothing in them.
To complicate things further I use a plugin for Tasker on my phone called Autoinput which carries out a sequence based on pressing menus on screen. If the playlist sequence goes out of order, Autoinput selects the wrong playlist.
So this is probably a very unique use-case but is there a way to make all playlists sync over to my phone, even if it's empty?

Emply playlists not empty on phone
I have brought this up before, but I've been away from this for a while.
I have a smart/live playlist called "Not Heard", set to pull in any music item that has no "last played" timestamp so I can prioritize newly added items. In MMW5 (5.0.4.2693) this playlist is currently empty. I have synced several times since this playlist emptied out. In MMA (2.0.0.1174) this playlist is not empty, it still has three tracks in it.
Playlists will update properly on sync until it's empty on the desktop, then it stops syncing changes back down to the phone until it's no longer empty on the desktop.
