How can I compose Music Library?
/ Song is not added even though
library is updated.
Just by adding a song to DLNA server, Music Library
is not automatically updated. When you add a song
to the server, in [Settings à Music Library à Sync],
run Music Library synchronization again. Even after
Music Library synchronization, if song is not added,
check the followings.
1. Check if DLNA server or PC SW shared folder is
designated.
2. Check if DLNA server contents list is renewed.
yy Even if you copy the file into the server,
server contents list may not be immediately
renewed, so check the server setting.
yy If you copy a song into the phone with
a method other than MTP, it may not be
reflected to the server contents list. In such
case, rescan the contents in the phone, or
turn off and start the phone again.
3. The sharing may be blocked, so check DLNA
server program setting or firewall setting.
yy If you are using LG Musicflow PC software,
when you designate shared folder, the
