    Syncing to Android Phone - Need to Specify Main Folder on Phone + Playlists

    Hello! I can easily add source folder's and sync using TuneFusion to my Android phone so it's working but I need to specify a destination folder on my phone in order to update my Foobar2000 playlists path so they work on the phone! Currently "Change Destination Location" is greyed out so I cannot configure it. How do I get this option to become available? I do have a lifetime paid version!

    2nd question.. Is there a way to have Tunefusion sync my playlists as well? My current process is to drag a copy of all of them into their own folder on the PC and then use WinGrep to change the path for the phone. Then connect my phone to my PC and drag them into their own "playlists" folder and then ask the Foobar2000 android app to re-scan that foldr to update my playlists!

    3rd question.. Is there a filetype I can use that allows me to modify playlists I've added from PC on the android phone? I've used M3U in the past and they are read only. I ask as sometimes I also will modify a playlist on my phone and resync to PC instead of creating a new one on the phone for that very purpose.

    Any help is appreciated!

    When creating the sync, does it not specify the location then?

    Playlists are not supported, sorry.

      Hey Spoon!

      Ok.. Here's a re-do and what I see..

      1. Add new sync
      2. Choose >> Foobar 2000 mobile
      3. Create sync
      4. pop up w/sayting to go to phone
      5. Go to phone
      6. Open Foobar2000 on phone and go to tools / TuneFusion sync per instruction
      7. Gives pop up choice on phone to choose folder AND say YES to sync at same time

      I recall doing this the 1st time but as soon as I clicked "sync" the pop up screen goes away VERY QUICKLY it does not stay open to choose folder.. Folder choice option only available on phone at he very bottom of the screen below sync option. SO.. I never really saw that option the 1st time and just ran into the greyed out option in TuneFusion. It would help if this was clarified in the manual that the time to choose a folder is when you sync on the phone. It's not really an option in the software unless another condition exists?????

        "Change destination location" is for other types of syncs than foobar2000 mobile. You must specify path on your phone when pairing.
        What exact phone model & system version is this? I'll re-test folder picker dialog on something similar, perhaps there's a problem with it.
        You can disable system folder picker use in Advanced Settings, perhaps our alternate folder picker will work for you.

        Playlists are not currently supported.
        M3U is a plain text format and should be editable, open them with any text editor and update?
