My computer: Dell XPS running Windows 7 Home Professional 64 bit.
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 this weekend and am having an issue with music not syncing properly. I am able to get songs and playlists transferred from my computer to the SGS3. I can listen to the songs on the SGS3. The problem comes when I try to sync the SGS3 back to the computer, the SGS3 does not communicate the last played date, play count or any song file tag updates back to the computer. No errors come up, the sync appears to be successful. If I select new songs to be included in the sync, or de-select songs the songs are added/deleted properly on the SGS3 on synch. The tags are successfully passing from the computer to the SGS3 (even cover art), but the tags are not updating back from the SGS3 to the computer.
I thought originally it was an issue with either the music library managers I had on my computer or the music application I was using on the SGS3. I have experimented with many combinations. On the computer I have tried MediaMonkey, MusicBee, Songbird and WinAMP. On the SGS3 I have tried the native music player, MixZing, N7Player, Android Music, Player Pro and Rocket. I really like that Player Pro and Rocket allow a user to edit the song tags from the phone, but when I sync the phone back to the computer none of these updates are communicated back to the media library. And I love that Player Pro can insert itself into the lock screen of the phone.
In the various media library managers, I have combed through the settings and found all the
