My Question or Issue

Most of my playlists are nested into folders. I will usually add a song to multiple playlists in multiple folders at the same time; navigating into a folder, selecting playlists, navigating out (using the android "swipe from edge of screen" back as that is the only way to exit a folder), then into another folder, selecting more playlists, then clicking "Done".

Up until very recently, this all worked as expected: once clicking "Done" the song would appear in all the playlists I had selected.

HOWEVER, over the last week or so, none of the playlist selections I make within folders persist when exiting that folder. This means songs I liked and wanted to add to my library ended up getting lost essentially 😞

Now I have to meticulously add songs to playlaists within a single folder, click "Done", and repeat the process for each folder.

Hey there @alias180,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome. 

It seems some navigation gestures have changed in the latest Android update. We really appreciate the time you took to let us know about this. What you can try is:

1. Entering a folder

2. Selecting the playlists to which you want to add the song and then go back, not using the swiping gesture, but using this arrow at the top:

• 

3. Click Done.

When I was trying this on my own phone, I noticed changes wouldn't be saved by using the swiping gesture. Nonetheless, but using the arrow at the top, all the playlists I selected stayed the same. Would you mind giving it a try?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply!
