New to foobar2000 - installed on PC and iPhone - files don't get to iPhone app

Hi. I just installed foobar 2000 (v1.6.16) to my Windows 10 PC (latest), and foobar2000 v 1.3.1 64-bit to my iPhone 13 Pro Max with available capacity 973Gb. I also installed TuneFUSION 2023-03-30 on the PC.

I entered my song location and all 5000+ songs were loaded into foobar 2000 and play well. I want those songs to be synced to the iPhone which is why I chose TuneFUSION. I used Add New Sync and selected foobar 2000 mobile > Create. After connecting the iPhone to the USB, started foobar 2000 mobile, chose Tools/Sync with TuneFUSION.

TuneFUSION stated 'Find your TuneFUSION app instance and connect'. In foobar 2000 mobile I don't see any reference to a TuneFUSION instance to connect with.

Where would I find that in the iPhone foobar 2000 app?
Cheers.

I use foobar2000 mobile on an iphone and TuneFusion.  I transfer music from my hard drive (same one foobar2000 on my PC accesses for music files) using TuneFusion, but I'm connecting it to the "TuneFUSION Library" on foobar2000 mobile on my iPhone.  Try that.

Thanks garym. On the foobar 2000 mobile app I selected 'Sync with TuneFUSION. The next screen showed I was paired with 'TuneFUSION on a computer'. On the PC I 'Add a new sync' > selected 'foobar 2000 mobile' from the options (Removable Disk/Network Share, Local Folder, FTP Server, or foobar 2000 mobile) > Create.

This returned with the pop-up ..
Please connect your mobile device to your local network; start foobar 2000 mobile, choose Tools / Sync with TuneFUSION, find your TuneFUSION app instance and connect. If your device can't connect automatically, enter the following code: (5 sets of 2 characters). I did Tools / Sync with TuneFUSION but don't know how to find the TuneFUSION app instance in order to connect it. Nor can I see where the set of characters should be entered.

Any ideas?

I'm away from my home setup where I do this and can't recall from memory the steps (as I do this only about twice a year).  But there are expert users on this forum (which is the forum for the developer of TUNEFUSION.  You should post your question there:

and I assume your phone is on the same local WIFI network where your computer running TuneFusion and music files is located. If your phone is on, for example, cell and not WIFI from your network, none of this will work.

Shouldn't matter. But the TuneFusion forum will have good answers for your questions.
