Feature description:
Whenever I travel, I ensure all my favorite songs are downloaded.
So I created a smart playlist for my favorites and download that same playlist to ensure all new songs are downloaded. (Have used offline cache as well but in case of no connection sometimes have lost the access that’s why I prefer export to downloads folder)
But have seen that it downloads all the songs again with ’ (1)’ added to the file.
Can it be changed to skip the download if the same file exists.
Problem solved:
It will help in re-downloading the updated playlists so that only the songs which were added after the download or songs which aren’t already downloaded will be downloaded.
Brought benefits:
Bandwidth and storage saving.
Other application solutions:
if the song already exists on the same path, just skip it.
It’s tough to remember which all songs have already been downloaded and this feature will avoid this confusion.
Additional description and context:
Below is an example of the duplicate files. I can understand the favorite one but the 2nd file with (1) could have been skipped.
