The problem

On multiple occasions I've encountered situation where tracks were clearly removed from Deezer's library, but they remain in playlists in Music Assistant. For instance, in my Deezer Loved Tracks (basically favorites) playlist, I had a song called Liar, by Rina March. I don't see it in Deezer at all any more, no matter what I search for, but the track remains in my Music Assistant synced Loved Tracks playlist. I've tried clicking remove from playlist, remove from library, etc, but nothing seems to work to get rid of it.

I believe that sometimes this even happens with songs that were not completely removed, but get reassigned to a different album or something. It's like whatever their background ID is changes, and Music Assistant loses the connection to the actual song.

I think this is the root cause of issues I've had in the past with tracks repeating themselves over and over. Whenever a song like this comes up in a playlist, Music Assistant seems to just keep repeating the current song because it doesn't know what to do about the problematic song. Ideally, it would just skip over the bad song.

How to reproduce

Difficult to intentionally reproduce because you'll have to have a song in a playlist that is then removed from Deezer.

No worries, I'm continuing to see if there's an easy way to get these broken tracks out without completely removing the music provider, Etc.
