[Android app] Make a whole playlist (playable) offline

Postby gaui » Wed May 23, 2012 12:09 am

Hello, I just wanted to bring this feature request.

I know you can make a whole playlist offline by playing the playlist and having unlimited cache.

But after that, how are you going to play the playlist offline? You can while it's in the player queue, but if you clear that, you're pretty much screwed and have to go through the artist directory.

I had been using Google Music before I stumbled up on Subsonic and found this feature missing. In Google Play Android app you can long press a playlist and make it offline and then you can see list of offline playlists.

So, my feature request is: A "Playlist" tab in Offline mode where you can see your offline playlists. And also long press on a playlist in Online mode where you can choose "Make playlist offline" would be less confusing, because people don't always realize that they have to play the whole playlist to make it offline.

I think this would be very well appreciated in Subsonic app.

Please let me hear what you think.

Thank you.

I think making the playlists themselves available offline would resolve this problem.

So long as the songs are stored in the players cache, the playlists being shown without needing to be connected to the Subsonic server would probably do the trick.

Then the playlists would have to be rewritten so songs point to the music cache folder in /sdcard/subsonic/ :)

Pls make a feature where you can see all Music in the subsonic Folder on your mobile :) And sort it after Artist or only track view

I would really like this, but am unsure of the difficulty in implementing it, which could be why it has not been done yet.

Just started using subsonic and I am just don't know how I managed before this. There are still some missing features with this one being one of the key features for me. +1 hope to see this soon.

Even better would be the option to sync offline content with specified playlist(s). This way if items are removed from playlist, they would also be removed from cache.

Yes exactly, like in Google Music

Just like the Google Play music app. Would be the best feature added to the whole system!
