I know this is going to be long, I just want to detail so three's no misunderstanding and someone can help me as I'm hoping I may help others who might be experiencing this too.
I use 'playlist backup' https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=org.ssi.playlistbackup&token=XTWrwCEm to save my playlists and regenerate them if moving to a new phone or after a factory reset. I've got over 2K songs on my memory card and a dozen+ playlists...this app has always worked flawlessly. I back them up on my SD card AND into Dropbox.... So I imported my playlist's and they generated each list no prob, but the music player(Samsung-downloaded from Samsung apps) did not add the songs into each list like it normally does. Note 7 did just fine last year by the way. So I figured out which file it would save the txt file to if I made a new playlist in the music player and backed it up with the same app-transferred all the previous backups to that folder and still nothing. Checked a little later and they were miraculously all showing, songs and all. That was 5 days ago...today couple playlists had all but a couple songs missing-nothing like I previously had done would work to add them back. Had to re-add each missing song to the playlist again. Backed up with the app again, checked the file and it had a series of #'s now tagged to the playlist name. Ended up 'selecting all' in each playlist, making new playlist with similar name and saving to that new one then deleted the originals. Did this with all the original playlists so they'd all have these #'s added since that's apparently needed-hoping now to prevent from happening again. ALSO, I use star tag editor https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ails?id=com.music.star.startag&token=VpxYipUk to add album art-fill in any missing info on songs/album names/artists/etc... All my previous phones(all Samsung's) would show the updated info in the music player right away. Not Note 8...I have to restart the phone in order for it to update. Can't figure out how to refresh it any other way...
I doubt this is only with the music player-this is just the way I've noticed how the phone is doing this sort of thing. Anyone have an opinion or experienced anything similar.
Thnx again everyone!
