Filter for rolling vs permanent offline cache

Feature description:

Currently there is a smart filter for offline cache status, however it does not allow selection between rolling cache and permanent cache. I think that would be useful.

Problem solved:

Allows user to manually clean up the rolling cache, either remove items, or move them to the permanent cache.

Brought benefits:

Allows the user to move offline items between the different cache types

Other application solutions:

Use the offline status filter there’s clearly all the possible states.

Am I missing something? I don’t see that option.

Use the track view ?

Albums can have a mix of everything in them.

Gotchya, now I see it. I never use track view so that’s why I was not aware of that filter option.

Would it be possible to add it to album view? Possibly as a sub option of fully cached? That would apply to my usecase since I cache full albums at a time.

EDIT: actually, I can probably do what I want with a smart playlist. Thanks.

eh, I still can’t really achieve what I would like; to be able to browse, by album, the contents of the rolling cache for the purpose of moving albums to the permanent cache.

What I’ve been able to do is to create a smart playlist of tracks that are in the rolling cache, but since I cannot create a smart playlist based on the contents of a smart playlist, I don’t have a way to view them by album. I also cannot convert a smart playlist to a standard playlist, without selecting each individual track and manually adding them to a new playlist. That would work, however, there is no provision to select all (only to deselect all), so I would have to hold and scroll though more than 13,000 tacks (would really rather not, that will take a significant amount of time, and makes for a lot of chance to screw it up and have to start over if my finger slips or something).

So, the solutions, in my mind, would be to allow fully cached albums to be filtered by whether they are in the rolling cache or the permanent cache, or have some provision to convert a smart playlist to a standard playlist, or to have an option to select all tracks when selecting items from a list. Any one of those would make this a whole lot easier to do.

Thanks.

PS, is it possible to get a “Donor” bade on the forum, if I’ve donated via the app / Google Play Store?

You can sort the playlist by album. I’m not sure what an album playlist would improve for your case.

Anyway I’ll add the save as normal playlist as it serves other purposes.

For the donor badge it’s for recurring donors to access a new forum place in the forum but no one requested it, so it’s not really useful.

Thank you sir!

You can sort by album, but it still lists each individual track, rather than just a single item for each album. Just less things to select / makes the list shorter to go through
