Android Wireless Desktop PC Sync Issue

i did origionally do a separate post because my problem is different to the original posters, but i do have a similar problem to jecal22 and ddraper. madmitch, what problem are you having? sensation user here too. there have been a couple of wifi related problems described here:

1. music sync, as ddraper put it " An initial and obvious problem is that Android on the PC cannot identify files it just synced to the device. I can remove all files on the device, then start a sync. Eventually the sync will stop but there is no way to cancel so you just have kill Winamp and start over. Then reconnect with Wifi again and attempt a full sync again. The popup windows now shows most of the files is just synced to the device as "not in the PC library" and ask to delete them or leave alone. What? Sure enough it will attempt to resync the very files that just got transferred."

2. playlist sync, as mb84 put it "I have the same issues while syncing multiple playlists with my Samsung Galaxy S. These are about 10 playlist having varying number of songs (10 up to 150). Winamp freezes while syncing the playlists, only a partial, corrupt sync is done."

my problem is 1, but as i don't have any playlists 2 can't really be an issue. however winamp on the pc is asking me to delete music from my phone, so i can't really get far enough to investigate 2. mb84, are you having problems with 1, or just 2? i'll have a play around with log at some point, don't have time now.

my original post:

have winamp (1.2.9) on my phone, (HTC Sensation, rooted) and winamp(5.622) on my laptop(win 7, 64x). i am trying to sync my music by wifi and it tells me that there are ~1600 songs on my phone that are not on my laptop (of ~4000) and the same number of songs on my laptop that are not on my phone. i'm assuming they're the same songs at this point. if i connect the phone by usb and sync it tells me they match up no problem, no changes needed. all the tracks are in mp3 format, although they do come from a variety of different sources, some ripped from cd, some downloaded, i can't particularyly see anything in common. i have tried letting winamp sync all music over wifi but the wifi connection will occasionally drop and it will want to delete some tracks, i've tried letting it delete the tracks and re-sync them (only a few over wifi, rest by cable, would take a day otherwise), problem persists. most of my actual music organisation is done by mediamonkey, but as they are very similar (to the point of having a winamp.exe in the mediamonkey install folder) i wouldn't have thought this would cause issues. seeing as how i installed winamp for the wifi sync it would be nice to have, however I've kept it since because of the constantly present play/pause buttons at the bottom of the screen. at a guess i'd say it's something to do with the tracks. any suggestions?
