Move away from the Android MediaStore Playlist API #116

Suggestion

Problem

Android Playlist API was deprected

There are a lot of problems with this backend, it barely works.

You can create and read playlist, but everything other than that is extremely laggy and sometimes, more often than not, doesn't work:

I was aware of this problem at the moment of implementing this, but thought this was still worth using it, since these playlists are shared through the MediaStore.

While this is true, this is worth almost nothing, given how broken they are.

Solution

We should move on to some other implementations, probably file based.

Removing songs from playlists no longer works https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57398381/api-29-mediastore-access/65686524#65686524
