Hi Guys
I'm brand new to the whole android experience so this may be a really dumb question, but I'm getting some very strange things happening with my playlists using the stock Play Music
My Nexus 7 is absolutely stock with JB 4.2
On my laptop I'm running W7 Pro & using Media Monkey 3.2
To test I have created 3 playlists in media monkey: -
Weird Behaviour 1
If I first sync list 1 then 2 ... list 1 disappears, then syncing list 3 & list 2 disappears
If I sync list 3 first then 2... tracks 1-4 disappear from list 3, then syncing list 1 ... & tracks 1-3 disappear from list 2
It appears that a track can only appear on one playlist ... unless I'm doing something stupid
So I deleted all the *.pla playlists, exported the playlists from Media Monkey as *.m3u files and transferred them manually to my Nexus playlist folder. Now I have 3 playlists with 3, 4, & 5 tracks respectively but...
Weird Behaviour 2
When I open the playlist in Play Music browser all the tracks appear in the right order
When I either 'play' the playlist or 'add to queue' the tracks seem to add in some random order
If I open the playlist first and then tap the first track, that plays and the rest of the list is random
Its like when I start the playlist some sort of auto shuffle is happening as though I was selecting shuffle all rather than play or add... am I missing something obvious
I've tried winamp and I still get weird behaviour 1 but not 2 - list play in the proper order - I just prefer the Play Music interface which seems more tablet optimised
Not sure if this is an Android question or just a N7 question.
Any suggestions gratefully received
