So, after a few years of *almost* painless sync to Android phone's SD card, I'm back to iPhone. And that brings memories -- not good ones.
The first problem seems to be that it took awhile for the music to appear on the phone after the sync had concluded. Weird, but it's there now, so all is well that ends well.
But -- none of the artwork seems to have made it to the phone. Missing for everything.
EDIT: Despite the music showing up in both iTunes (when browsing the phone), and the phone itself, none of the tracks are playable: any attempt to play it on the phone results in "This song is not currently available in your country or region" error. The amount of free space confirms that the sync didn't actually put much on the phone.
As a separate question, if I want to let iTunes handle the sync, and just use MM to re-populate iTunes library (e.g.
- reset/delete iTunes library
- run sync MM sync to a local folder
- add that local folder to iTunes
- sync via iTunes), how do I accomplish "run sync MM sync to a local folder" part?
