Summary0019831: Wi-Fi Sync doesn't work if the user skips granting folder access
DescriptionIf the user does a fresh install of MediaMonkey and clicks 'skip' on the screen prompting to grant permission/access to /Playlists, /Video, /Movies, /Music, then:
- MM doesn't display any content already in those folders (I believe that's expected)
- When the user uses Wi-Fi Sync to add content it appears to sync successfully but then nothing appears in the library!

This is contrary to the message that appears when the user clicks 'skip': "If access isn't granted to the requestied folders : MediaMonkey will instead sync content to a MediaMonkey-specific folder that is inaccessible to other music players".

Note:
- An examination of MMA > Folders > Files shows that the files _have_ been synced, so maybe the problem is related to the Android MediaStore not syncing with MMA in this configuration.
- Synced playlists appear in Playlists, but they're empty
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1071

I retested and the original description seems incorrect. It should indicate that 'Sync of new content doesn't work at all if the user skips granting folder access'. i.e.
1 Install MMA 2.0.0.1070 and grant permissions normally
2 Wi-Fi Sync playlist 'Marvel DC'
--> Sync proceeds normally
3 Uninstall MMA
4 Re-install MMA, but this time 'Skip' granting access to folders
5 Initiate Wi-Fi Sync, but add a new playlist to the sync list 'Favorites - 1 audio CD worth'
--> Matching of previously synced content occurs (i.e. ratings are added) and sync proceeds, BUT
A) Tracks from 'Favorites - 1 audio CD worth' do not appear in the library even though they've been synced to the 'private' MediaMonkey directory!
B) For all tracks that are in the 'Marvel DC' playlist, empty directories are created in the 'private' MediaMonkey directory!
- The 'Marvel DC' playlist works as expected despite issue B), so although it results in a bit of a mess, it's not a major issue.
C) The 'Favorites - 1 audio CD worth' playlist is EMPTY
See debug log 63FWAQ9B12
6 Initiate 'Check for new/changed media'
--> No change re. issues A) , B), or C)
See debug log PXVKWQEM8M
