Rekordbox 6 syncing to device

Hi all.

Reading a lot of mixed reviews here and on other media of RB6. I'm not here to complain about the subscription model - I actually find it pretty fair :-)

My questions are:

1) Is the "syncing" to device (USB) still handled the same way as in RB5? 

I use A LOT of intelligent playlists and manage them with My Tags. So if I don't want a track to appear in an intelligent playlist, I just remove the tag and it's gone from the playlist. Great - except it isn't gone from the device; it stays on the device hawking up space. I recently deleted about 1000 tracks off my USB's Collection that was not in any intelligent playlist because a I removed the tags. To make sure that I only have the tracks I want to play taking up space on my device, I will litterally have to do a clean +2000 track "sync" every time I make a change.

So the real question here is; has the "sync" been optimized to improve this or is it the same? 

2) Does My Tags get imported when converting your RB5 library/collection to RB6?

I've read a few placed that the tags does not get imported to RB6 when converting, thus completely destroying all intelligent playlists. 

I would happily pay the Creative subscription plan, but as I heavily rely on intelligent playlists, it will be a massive dealbreaker for me if this is the case.

Thanks for your feedback!
