I have my music library on an iMac desktop but have an Android Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, I struggle with finding a solution to syncing the music library to my phone easily.
I used to plug an SD card from the phone into the iMac and sync with MC25, however my new phone the S23 has no SD card.
I'm hoping that upgrading to MC32 may include this function?
If not, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Check the USB settings on the phone.

Check the USB settings on the phone.
The only option in my phone is to enable USB debugging which unfortunately doesn't help.
I however found OpenMTP which is a great app for mac.
I sync MC to a folder on my mac, then use OpenMTP to transfer to my phone.
I'm still considering an upgrade to MC33.

If you see USB as a notification when you swipe down from the top, open the notification. You should see more options unless your phone is old. Which phone are you using?

When I plug my phone it it gives me the option to allow access, apart from that I only have the option to enable developer options then enable USB debugging.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S23+ so not too old. I think it's due to the fact that Apple and Google don't offer cross support for MTP connectivity. Android used to have Android File Transfer but it's no longer supported.
It would be nice to just resync/update my library but hopefully that will work with syncing to folder and copying across, although I may have to delete the library from my phone and add it fresh every time, which is time consuming of course.
