we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

that sucks. not that you should remotely have to do it but have you tried one of the third party apps that purports to do it? again, it's stupid that you'd have to but it might be nice if one of them worked

i haven't with this, no. last i looked all the apps were based on the old sync framework and didn't work with anything newer than an ipod classic, or were just wrappers for itunes, which seems like it would probably have the same issue

at some point i'll get frustrated enough to test some out, or just factory reset the phone and see what happens

it could be that some bug made the imported music folder offload files to icloud drive? or does it already do that, i gave up on syncing a while ago

i just use vlc since it's easier to manage, you just pop all the files you want in your library into the vlc folder lol. when minimized you get ios' controls of course, so for music it's really not too bad. it even works with carplay

ehh if you don't it's unlikely. i haven't ever run any of my devices with it disabled, do you still even get the option to "offload unused files"? if so, i guess it could be a bug similar to that. if not, it's pretty much impossible lol

these days, sync will randomly take between one and three attempts to actually sync something after dragging the album over the phone icon, sometimes it will just do nothing at all until the phone is disconnected and reconnected one or more times. each time, the backup will run first, and then it might sync, or it might just stop.

it will repeatedly sync some of the same files every time it's connected, these files being from albums synced years ago.

it will randomly gain or lose artwork for albums.

if an album was synced more than a few months ago, it's a coin flip whether it will play at all on the phone, it's there in the music app, everything appears normal, but selecting a song simply has no result, nothing plays.

sometimes, instead of just not playing, the entire album will suddenly disappear from the album list.

this is just off the top of my head, using itunes for windows and an iphone 12 mini that is kept up to date.

this poo poo used to work. it used to work on this phone even. in the last three years it has gotten a lot worse.

itunes "sync" has always been a disaster that never worked. none of this is new. the windows style of treating the phone/player as a generic mass storage device that lets you or an app copy on/off at will was so much better.

whats even more amazing is a bunch of really hosed up morons used to defend itunes. can you even imagine?

syncing your phone like an iPod has extremely obviously been on the outs for about a decade now, certainly since Apple Music has been available

the doj should add it to their antitrust suit honestly, it's hosed up that syncing music has become a weird crapshoot that requires discontinued software simply because apple has their own music streaming service. it's not like they made it increasingly more difficult for you to sync music from elsewhere while the itunes store existed

works the same with telegram playlists so I've been using private channels as music storage, syncs between devices and they can keep a cache
