Windows 10: Folders with music won't copy fully to Android "Music" folder. Silent error, file names too...

I have thousands of songs. Some of the file names are 70 characters long. I want to copy my ENTIRE music folder over to my Android phone's music folder in one fell swoop. I've done this three times now and some songs to some albums just won't copy over unless I manually copy / paste them individually.If I do one folder with one subfolder with thirty tracks, for example, maybe half of the tracks will copy over and I won't see a SINGLE error about it. The other fifteen with longer track names just WON'T COPY OVER.I'm not stupid so don't ask me how much space is free on my Android phone. There's

Names of user folders (Photos, Music...)


Very odd problem:





If I move the location of the user folder (an example here is for Music and Pictures).
Both of my folders are network drives from the NAS, and the files are located in root of the network share.
So for an example, I have Music which is H:\ and Photo which is I:\.
If I I move the location of the Music folder towards H:\, it will name the user folder H:\ instead of Music. Which is annoying. If I move it to H:\Music, it will name it Music. An example is seen on I:\, as I pointed the location of the user folder "Pictures" to I:\.

Can the name of this folder be changed to how it usually worked in Windows 7, eg. the name of the folder did not change. And no, I don't want to use libraries, I know that is the possibility, I would like to remain on the folder basis, like this one.

 

How to sort folders of music by Album Name


To sort by Album name, you need Sort By > Album in the right click context menu. But it is not there.

Add it there.
Step 1: Right Click > Sort by > More ....

In the Choose Details dialog, check the album box, click OK.

Now Sort By > Album is rightly there.


Now, to add the Album column, you need to edit the music tags. I use MP3Tag in order to do this.

 

Turned Hard Drive into Music folder

• Create a folder on the D drive and name it 'Music'
• Move all the files and folders that should be in the Music folder into this new folder
• Then in Quick Access, right click the Windows Music Library, select Properties
• Then on the location Tab, set its location to the new 'Music' folder
• When asked if you want to merge contents - Select 'No'
• Click 'Apply' and 'OK'

If you want you can leave the music folder on the D Drive, or you can then click 'Restore Default' to move it back onto the C Drive

If needs be for the Documents folder, you can perform the same operation by creating a new Documents folder on the D Drive

NOTE: the important step is (5) do not merge the contents . . .
