Thanks for your reply. It's MM5 on a Windows laptop to an Android phone. I had selected just them to be synced - but it's synced a load of random stuff I didn't ask it to sync - and flatly refuses to sync the two albums I have asked it to sync. this is over Wifi which I find to be much the quickest.

I've synced my server and my phone but a new CD repeatedly refuses to sync across. I have no idea why. I've just discovered the other album by this artist (Jessie Ware) hasn't synced across either. Any ideas why please? Thank you!

The option is for 'hide albums' when you tap the 3 dots on the right hand side, but it's only when you actually view the gallery and you have to select the albums one by one. If you want to select pictures it still shows all the blooming albums. I am still trying to add a .nomedia file, but I am get...

Thanks, unfortunately it hasn't worked for me - it doesn't help that when I rename a file .nomedia it promptly disappears and I can't find it in a search!

However, I've now found I can hide folders in Samsung gallery and Google Photos has a default for photos only which is helpful.

How do I create a no media file please? Or do I just entitle any file nomedia?

Thank you, I will give that a shot. Where do I put the nomedia folder?

Thank you for your reply. I have put it in a folder but it may be the wrong one! Where should I put it please? In each album art folder? That'll take so long I may as well delete them all...

I've read several very old suggestions on how to sort this so I'm wondering if there is a more up to date solution. I don't want my album art showing as an album in my picture/photo gallery. Is anyone able to help please? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy and spent aaaaaages on live chat to Samsung but the...

Could I ask how you do this? Does Dropbox act similarly?

I couldn't get the one laptop to connect to the other, so I wound up moving all the music onto an expansion drive, then using the folder match software to match that. It still hasn't worked totally though, despite claiming there are no 'orphan' files, there appear to be still 40 odd tracks missing. ...

Thank you so much, that's brilliant!

Do you have any idea why not all the files are going over?

I've got a new laptop and want to move all my music using MM from laptop 1 to laptop 2. I've managed to get the two laptops to talk to each other and most of my music has moved over, but not all. According to laptop 1, there are 6084 tracks on it but only 5869 of these sync over to laptop 2. I can s...

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I will go through it all later. I finished attempting this at about 2330 last night so value your help!

I gave up on Wifi sync as it kept saying "incomplete" and tried to do a USB one instead. so now everything has been copied over twice, and despite trying to follow the instructions I can't seem to get it to find duplicates. I think I'll give up on MM.

Unfortunately the sync hasn't worked. It claims to have completed but only some of the music has gone over. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but surely it shouldn't be this difficult. Maybe I'd be better with GooglePlay.
