After restart, my music playlists are corrupted.

[Android Central Question]

I have a Moto Z3 (Android 9). I recently started having issues with my music playlists loosing songs after I restart my phone. For example, I have 1 playlist with 157 songs. But now it shows only 54. All music is stored on the phone. The only way to temporarily fix the issue is to delete the playlist and then copy over (from PC) the playlist back to my phone. This only works until I restart my phone again. I have tried the following, but nothing so far fixes the issue:

1) Moved music files and playlist files to internal storage from SD card.
2) From Google Play Music, reset app cache and refreshed.
3) Tried other music player.
4) Performed a factory reset on the phone.

I have observed similar misbehavior. The only solution that I have found is to clear the storage of the Media Storage system app and then restart. It's not much of a solution, because on the next restart, the playlist data will again be corrupted.
