Symfonium AndroidAuto UI: how to navigate in Folders and subs-folders

Support

Issue description:

So I’m testing Symfonium, and my need is because my music and my entire music library are on pCloud.
So it works very well on mobile, and I find the interface decent.
However, on Android Auto, I haven’t found a way to navigate through my folders and subfolders where my music is stored.
I have an organization by folders and subfolders to store my music that I know well and have been using for years.
When I’m on Android Auto, I don’t have the folder and subfolder view, which is really problematic.
Since not all of my music is necessarily correctly tagged, it doesn’t help me at all to have to search for albums or artists, and I would like to know how, therefore, on Android Auto in the Symfonium interface, I can have access to the folders and subfolders (located on pCloud in my case) to be able to choose exactly which album I want to listen to.
Regards

Duplicate of a few, AA does not really allows infinite navigations patterns to be allowed on the Store.

And Symfonium is all optimized for library mode and proper tags.

So if your need is simply to play folders, there’s probably other apps that cost less and can do just that fine.

Navigating via folders is indeed more powerful than any tagging system. While I understand your point, I have found that there are at least two similar features in the AA UI, and I think replacing one of these with a folder exploration option would be helpful for many other users like me who keep their music organized in folders. For me, the priority is privacy and ease of use, and I don’t mind the price of the app if it achieves that. Organizing music into folders allows me to access tracks in just a couple of clicks, which is the most efficient method for my needs. Can you name any other app that can do that fine in AA ? Regards.

This is absolutely false, this is just an habit and not using proper tags.
A folder hierarchy is limited by the fact that it’s a simple tree that can only represent one chosen hierarchy.

No multi genres, no multi artists, no multiple years, moods and so many other multi directional hierarchy that allows so much more interesting ways to navigate your music.

And no there’s no infinite browsing feature in AA currently as it’s not allowed by Google rules, so no feature to replace.

For other apps, I don’t know.
