Use Playlists files (m3u) #868

Closed Emporea closed 2 months ago

Emporea commented 2 months ago

Description

It would be awesome if there were an option to use playlist as m3u files, instead of the internal database.

Manual Importing and Exporting is not sufficent for conveniently synthing changes in playlists over multiple devices.

Problem solved

No response

Other implementations

Other music players can use playlists by file, and changes to the playlist are also immediately written to the files. For example Phonograph

Benefit

Read from and write to playlists in a given directory without manual importing or exporting. Changes are present immediately.

Duplicate of #322. Android's method of exposing playlists is actually deprecated and extremely broken, hence why I use manual imports. Once I have direct filesystem access, I can work around it and index them myself.
