Changes to folders in OneDrive not reflected in CloudPlayer (and a couple other questions)

Hello -great app! I remember using DoubleTwist back in the early days of Android as the only reasonable alt for iTunes, and I'm so pleased to see you guys are still around and so active! Kudos to the DT team!! A few questions:

 

1. I am currently testing the 30-day trial, and I moved my music out of Google Play Music to my OneDrive account, via Google Takeout. After setting up cloud player everything pulled over beautifully... But I kind of regret the folder setup that I started with now. I made some changes to my folders in OneDrive, but I don't see the changes reflected in in CloudPlayer. Will I need to reset cloud player, make my changes online, and then pull everything down again?

 

2. Second, regarding Playlists... When I got my stuff off GPM, there were Playlist folders and I didn't know what to do with them, and I deleted them. Inside those Playlist folders were folders for all my various GPM playlists. Inside the individual Playlist folders, there's a CSV file for every track, and a metadata CSV file. If I retain all these in my music folder, will CloudPlayer recognize and use the playlists? I see posts referencing"m3u" files, but none of these folders have m3u files, just CSV files. If I'm able to use these, can I reset CloudPlayer and then pull it all down again?

 

3. I see that CloudPlayer Platinum is only $7.99. is that a one time fee, and does it offer ongoing cloud support as I add new music to my OneDrive music folders?

 

Thank you for any info, and thanks again for such a great app!

    doubleTwist Support

    Hello. Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it.

    As for the questions:

    1. Unfortunately the Folder View is not currently updated after changes. This is something that we're looking to patch in a future update. For now, it depends on how extensive your changes are. If you only changed the path for a few folders, you can ban/unban the parent folder and it will reindex and show the new structure. Otherwise, if the changes are extensive, you will want to unlink the cloud account and then relink.

    2. Does the CSV contain filenames or just song names? CloudPlayer will import any m3u files found on the cloud account. The m3u file just needs to contain a list of filenames. Here's a snippet of a m3u test file that we use for testing.

    #EXTM3U
    D:\Music\Albums\Tegan & Sara - The Con\01 - I Was Married.mp3
    D:\Music\Albums\Tegan & Sara - The Con\02 - Relief Next To Me.mp3
    D:\Music\Albums\Tegan & Sara - The Con\03 - The Con.mp3

    3. The CloudPlayer upgrade is a one-time purchase. All purchase are tied to the account used to purchase so you will be able to use CloudPlayer on any device with the same account used to purchase.

    Hello! Thank you for the reply.

    It looks like maybe these CSV files won't be useful to me. All that is in them are Song Title, Album Title, Artist Name, Duration, and times played. I guess I don't know what these files are for. I was hoping they somehow combined to reflect my Google Play Music playlists.
