Being at the end of my tether I have decided to throw in the towel and give up on MTP in favour of setting up an SMB server on my Mac and simply download to my Android phone over the network. The process of copying around 45GB of files has reduced from over 24 hours along with persisting disconnecting to now it’s transferring it at around 10MBs (so far it is around hal way through).
Oh, and in a fit of optimism I posted the following on the YouTube Music feedback:
1) When I choose the artist I would like a list of the albums then click on the albums to get a list of tracks rather than having a massive list of all the tracks from every album.
2) Either the ability to choose for YouTube Music not to re-encode my music when I upload it and/or the ability to upload a flac file larger than 300MB so that one avoids the reduction in quality due to a loss to loss conversion.
I’m not hopeful that anything will come of it but I might as well throw in my five cents worth but at least I can say I tried something because YouTube Music has a lot of potential but the people who are running it can’t seem to get their act together.
