syncing two android directories for mp3 accessibilty

Trying to find a simple solution (although I realize it may be unlikely) to sync both my amazon media folder with my google music media folder on my Galaxy s7. I dislike the amazon player app but this is where I purchase my music from. I prefer to use the Google music player. So syncing those two media directories would be ideal to avoid having to manually copy or move files over after every purchase. does anyone know a utility or app that can accomplish this? Or any suggestions as to maybe other options to avoid having to use the amazon player but being able to gain access to those mp3s and playing them through an alternative media player. All feedback is appreciated!

FYI both media players limit you from creating directories, and do not allow you (from what I can see) to change the default media directories.

If both directories are on the same phone, either media player should play music from either directory. Media Scan builds a database of media on the phone when you turn it on, and that's where media players look for media to play.

If not, just create a common directory and put all your media (or at least, all your mp3 files) in there.

I am finding that Amazon and Google do not permit a change of directories. The force you to use their default directories.
