Im not sure what you mean. I did exactly what I described in steps to reproduce. ---

As I explained there’s some throttling to avoid endless repetitive syncs. In the logs each of your access to a playlist was to a playlist that was very recently already synced. ---

Sure, that makes sense. It’s not really a huge problem but its entirely possible that I would add a song to a playlist on another client and the playlist on symfonium will remain outdated when I add a song on my phone, overwriting my previous changes. Why not also automatically sync once right before a new song is added? To prevent any songs from being overwritten. ---

It does or should but with throttling would make no sense to do a large playlist sync each time you add a song if you add 10 in a row. I’ll need to figure something. ---

Well not much solutions, I’ve removed the throttling on song add for beta 3. Let’s hope people do not tons of edit on very large playlists. ---

Im just curious about what you consider to be a very large playlist? ---

It depends on library size, sdcard perf, phone perf and the source provider perf. But any playlist that takes more than a couple of seconds to sync would be a pain to reorder or often add songs to it. ---

Do you know if sync time is proportional to how many songs are in the playlist? ---

Well obviously since we are talking about playlist size here 😉
