I'm an idiot. Since I don't own a smartphone, it didn't occur to me that 99.99% of your syncing queries probably have to do with smartphones that are running MediaMonkey as well. So I really should have been clearer as to what I am trying to do.
I have two Windows computers, and a SanDisk SansaClip Sport MP3 player. What I am doing here is syncing newly-purchased music from one computer onto the Clip, then syncing said newly-purchased music from the Clip onto the other computer.
Sorry about that - and also for not responding. I had forgotten to ask to be notified when there's a reply. I'm really batting a thousand here, aren't I?
1. I already have "Create playlists of tracks newly added to the library" disabled. It doesn't create new playlists when I add tracks in any other way, but it still does so when the tracks are copied from my MP3 player onto the computer.
2. Both computers are running MMW 4.1.30.1914. It updates the playlist when copying Computer->Clip, but it doesn't update the playlist when copying Clip->Computer. The only way I've found that works is to use Windows Explorer to copy the playlists over (overwriting the existing ones), then remove the playlists from the MMW database, then rescan that folder.
* If I remove the playlists from the MMW database before the sync, the sync does not recreate them, whether or not I deleted them from Windows Explorer.
* If I rescan the folder without first removing the playlists from the database, MMW says to itself "I already know about that playlist" and doesn't check if its contents have changed.
