Hi,
Unfortunately USB sync is not perfect, especially when used on devices that do not have any MM installed (MMA = Android, MMW/5 = Windows) and need to check each file on drive to be sure no duplicates happen.
The best Practice in such cases is to Tell MM to Delete all media and Resync. I tested and in past 30min from your post using USB2.0 connection I synced 6000+ tracks without issues. Playlist will be simply recreated after all tracks are copied.
Do not get me wrong, but as you sync every few months. I think it is easier and faster that way.
On the other hand using WiFi Sync from MMA then sync updates only is way faster, but in that case MMA tells MM5 what is missing.
