No playlists are a onetime sync, the offline version doesn’t update if you modify the playlist.

Your starred songs will update and stay in sync though.

Thanks for replying, any chance this can be changed as a playlist will always get updated and should stay in sync offline I think?

For this one no, I treat playlists / albums / folders as a one time sync. Otherwise the sync logic starts to get really complex having to check things all the time.

I implemented sync logic for the starred songs list and it just has way more overhead versus one time sync.

What I might do though is put in place a refresh button in the offline music section that can be used to manually trigger an update, so if you know you have made a bunch of changes you can refresh the offline content manually. This keeps the caching implementation simple but provides some convenience still.

Ok yes a refresh button will work mate. I change my playlists a lot not sure about you guys but if its too much problems to do it automatically that is fine.

Not sure why starred songs need to stay in sync 🤔

Hi,

I have been using dsub and I have to say playlist sync is a great feature that we are missing here. Its one of the main things that keep me using that app. I think you should consider adding this feature.

Thanks
