Can't work this one out and i've searched through every folder I can find on the phone.
I noticed some old playlists were still showing in the audio manager so as I keep all music on storage card i just deleted the playlists out of playlist folder and deleted all the music so I could resync from WMP 11
Although all the music is now not shown in the audio manager all tracks in now playing and all the playlists are still listed (although not clickable and playable as they aren't on the storage card). Are the now playing and playlists cached anywhere in a temp folder which i've missed?
I'm getting quite frustrated at the process for syncing the HTC Desire with my Windows Media Player library
I can set it up first time, to sync some of my WMP playlists automatically, and it will copy all the music to the phone just fine.
However, on the phone, the playlists I chose to sync don't appear in the playlists tab on the music player.
I have to copy the playlist files to the SD card
This would be OK if its only the once. However, whenever I update the playlists on my computer (quite often), I have to delete the playlists from the phone, unplug for it to recognise, replug and reput the updated playlists on! It's driving me mad...
Is there anything I should be doing instead? eg my old Blackberry had 'Blackberry Music Sync' which did all this automatically for me. Any decent alternatives out there?
I'm guessing the problem is that the playlists from WMP will be in its own playlist format. I think the music player only supports .m3u . Maybe try using another application, songbird with the folder sync addon works quite well!
Is there anyway to have google play check for changes to your itunes library and re-sync songs?
I have it set to automatically sync with my itunes library, but a lot of times I will put a song into itunes and then fix its metadata and album art. The problem is that google music uploads the song as it is when I put it into itunes but not as it is after fixing it up.

I used gmusic until I ran into the same issue. The only thing I could find is to delete the entire library and start over. Hopefully you find a better.

The Google Music app doesn't re-upload files after you have changed meta data. If you do this often, disable the app auto starting. Then only launch it after you have changed the metadata.
Hi, I use Windows Media Player to sync music. After rebooting the phone, neither Walkman or PlayerPro list my playlists, I have to resync through WMP for the playlists to appear. Does anyone else have this problem? Or if you don't, what program do you use for syncing music from your computer (not from cloud services)?
Hi guys,
Quick question... I'm trying to sync music between my note 10.1 2014 and galaxy note 2. I downloaded google play music and I can sync music from my PC to my devices by downloading "music manager" for the PC which uploads them to the server
My question is if I Download a song on my phone can I somehow put it on the google play server so that it syncs to my devices??
....I guess I could copy the song to my computer and then sync it using music manager but that is a lot of steps... Would just like go upload to the server from my note 2

OK, you should setup your sync in a right way so that you could access the SAME content from ANY devices. The source should be store on the cloud so you could access from any devices and from any where. 2 way sync should be used so that when you change/modify/edit from any devices it should update your central source location then sync to all other devices Here how I did mine:
1) On your PC install Google Drive - This will create an offline folder on your PC where it auto sync to your Google drive cloud storage. If you change/modify/add the Google drive on your PC, it will update the Drive on the cloud. For the PC you should allow ALL folders/files to be sync to the cloud.
2) On your device - install "Google Drive" and "Autosync for Google Drive" - On the device, open Autosync for Google Drive and select ONLY folder you want to sync, obviously you don't want to sync other folders, cause you don't need to. In your case, choose Music folder from the Cloud and select 2 way sync. Done
Now if you download songs to your PC, these songs will auto upload to Google Drive (cloud), then sync to ALL of your devices that you configure to sync. Same thing if you download songs to one your device (phone/tablet), it will auto sync to the cloud then again auto sync to your PC and other devices. As you can see your PC and all your devices always in sync, no matter which device you modify or add.

Not a problem, if your music stored on Google drive, if you tab on the song, it will ask which player you want to use (what ever players are installed on your device), of course Google play music is in there, you can install third party player like Poweramp etc... and pick one as default player so next time it won't ask to choose anymore.

Exactly what I want but when I play the songs from Google drive they only play individually and I can't hit "next song" and I can't play the next song unless I exit out of the current
song... Is there a folder somewhere so that rather then using a folder on my drive to sync to, I sync to the google play music folder/server ?
What I like about using google music is that all the songs are displayed at once and I can shuffle through them quickly

Create the playlist on your PC browser or from the Google Play music app and the playlist will sync to all devices. REMEMBER IN ORDER TO PLAY MUSIC AND PLAYLIST you need to upload all your songs to GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC CLOUD, not google drive cloud.
