I've just encountered this after deleting all of the music off my Samsung Galaxy s5. Very annoying.
Apparently they stopped updating the connection to devices for Windows because it became too complicated for the developers; it can be still be done on Linux but not Windows. You can manually copy and paste playlists and your music, or use the other Operating System (which is frustrating and still not entirely guaranteed). One work around is to use the Clemetine remote app to copy the music (which is almost definitely going to be slower than USB 3.0 - but you can find it under the preferences dialogue or the PlayStore). I personally couldn't get it connected due to furhter issues with firewalls interfering with IPs and whatever else, and I'm really not keen on an airsync anyway. SOURCE: https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/wiki/Portable-Devices *What I've done at this point* is remove the SD card and insert it into the computer, mounted it like a USB - it shows up in Clementine then I can copy whatever I like to the disk, then reinsert it into my phone and everything shows up. It's hardly a "sync" but it's a way to get all of my music that I need. *In order to get playlists* I have exported them as m3u files, but they are still have an absolute path. In order to change this, I got a free batch text editing software (ReplaceText2.2) and had to change the file path from "Z:/" to a blank field (so instead of "Z:/music/etc" it becomes "music/etc", so that it will automatically search within the directory the playlist is located. That makes external drives work without a hitch. I also prefer Clementine to other music players (moved away from iTunes due to their affecting my music library folder structure and annoying updates). I thought this would be able to cover me, especially in regards to using the same music library between multiple computers with a HDD or with cloud storage. This is an irritating issue, especially if you're not running Linux (which finds the "SAMSUNG android" straight away but apparently I need to go through adding code through terminal to get it to read properly - it's stuck at 0%). I hope the developers of clementine make the process a bit easier.
