I'm still having trouble understanding what to do with syncing metadata from my device to pc.
Either I don't understand the wikis/knowledge base, or I've done something wrong.
I don't want to use wifi sync.
I don't want it to Auto-Sync, because sometimes I will need to put the data from the PC to the device.
Here's the rundown of what happened today:
The files on my PC are unrated.
I have my phone connected via cable, enabled file transfer.
I chose my Pixel 5 in the Tree and went to the "Auto-Sync (--->Library) tab.
I have "Auto-Sync new files and playlists from the device to the PC" checked.
I have "Confirm updates" checked.
I have "Auto-Sync file metadata from the device to the PC" checked.
I have what I want synced in music folder in the tree for syncing checked. (Though I only wanted one folder because I wanted to test this, but those folders weren't available to singularly select for some reason)
I click on Auto-Sync, it does it's thing. It asks to use rating from WMP and itunes, I went ahead and checked those. I think this was a mistake.
I checked the files on my PC via mediamonkey and they are still not rated.
I went back to where I was in the sync device to library and tried again. It found other files not synced for some reason, but not as many.
I went back to the files on my PC, still didn't have the meta data.
I checked the music on my Android, metadata was completely destroyed for 3 albums, and the album art from one album was copied to other albums.
--------
Other than choosing sync with wmp and itunes, what did I do wrong?
