I am currently in the process of trying to synchronise my library on to a Chromebook. Some of my songs are not synchronising correctly because of a problem with the file - I suspect that the filename is too long (about 50 characters plus some long folder name in front).
So I decided I would go on to my Android tablet and rename the file in the song to something shorter. That would be easy, but I have about 40 songs in my library all referring to different pages in the file (technical exercises for brass). When I rename the filename in one song, it doesn't update the other songs using the same file, and instead creates a copy of the file on the tablet.
I'm not sure the best way to proceed from here
- go into every song and update the filename, use the same name, and hopefully it just repoints that song at the same file?
- rename the file in Android Files programme and hopefully MSP will pick it up?
- Delete all these songs and start again?
Any advice appreciated
