I recently changed phones (to a Galaxy A14). I have MMW 5.0.4.2690 and MMA 2.0.0.1073. All of my music files are on an SD card. Initially I simply moved it from the old phone to new, but MMA, while trying to rebuild the library was messing things up in terms of organisation of tracks. So I decided to wipe the card and start again by syncing from MMW. I have a large library and started with a Wi-Fi sync. It was going fine but it was taking way too long. So I cancelled it and started over again, but with a USB sync.
This is going much faster (it's still currently running) but I've begun to notice some strange behaviour in the library:
1. Some of the content is bizarre, like Chinese characters in place of the song titles. If I look at the actual mp3 file it is correct, it just got into the library as Chinese characters (??)
2. The folder structure is correct on the SD card, but the library is putting some Classical music into the main Music collection and some Music into the Classical collection (my folder structure is: music/album artist/album title/track -- classical files are music/classical/album artist/album title/track-- and this structure is correct on the SD card so I don't know why the library is not honouring this,
3. Artists are getting displayed in the library as Album Artists.
As the files copy over from MMW, I notice that MMA is scanning files into the library on its end. Is there a way to get it to re-scan to fix the above errors? I was wondering if I did a Wi-Fi sync afterwards would this fix things?
If this issue has been asked and answered please send me on the link. I did searches but didn't find anything similar.
