Hi everyone,
I recently went into my phone's "Playlists" directory and deleted all the files (the files have the PlaylistName.pla format, all of them with 0 B size). I was doing a clean wipe of all songs (in Music) and playlists in order to do a fresh sync of my music with my phone.
Anyway, I noticed that when I reconnect my phone to my laptop (usb, file transfer mode) all the old playlist files are back in the directory. It happens instantly as soon as I plug in the usb cable.
These playlists do not show-up in the "Play Music" app unless I sync that particular playlist to my phone, so this phenomenon doesn't really have any adverse affect, it's just strange, and a little annoying.
Some of the playlists haven't been on my laptop (I use the MusicBee player) or my phone (in "Play Music") for months.
Things I have tried (all to no avail):
- I have deleted the files from my laptop with explorer
- I have deleted with Samsung's "My Files" (internal storage, dir Playlists)
- Attempted deleting the playlists from "Play Music" vs the files themselves
- I have attached the phone to several PCs, and the playlist files show up as soon as connected
- I have cleared data and cache from storage for both the phone and the app
Any thoughts? Anyone else experience this?
