Feature request: partial playlist download

[eldacar]

Hi

So this might be a strange use-case, I am open to suggestions on if I can achieve this in another way. Anyway, my regular listening/music discovery pattern is that I have one massive playlist (1500+ songs) which I listen to from the top. I add new songs to the bottom of this and delete from the top as I as progress through it. I call it the infinite list 🙂

So here's my problem, I want to listen to this list also on my mobile devices but the list is to big to download (would fill upp my device storage and take days to download). I have currently solved this by having a secondary list with just the current 100 songs which I play on my mobile devices when I am not in wifi coverage. But the administration of this is a bit cumbersome, moving songs from the big list to the small and keeping the current playing in sync.

What I am looking for is a way to enable a limited offline sync of a playlist. When I press the "download" button I would like the option to select how many songs (100 in my case) from the list that should be downloaded, so that when I make changes to the list from my computer all devices would automatically keep the 100 first songs downloaded.

Have you checked to see if that Idea already exists in the Ideas section? If it does then add your Kudos to show your support. If not, create a new idea and if it gets enough Kudos it may well happen!

I suspect your particular use case is not really best practice, you should really just maintain the lists seperately.

great idea !

a way to sync only 100 latest songs of a playlist would be amazing !

i absolutely love this idea! I want to make long playlists but only have the most recently added (and most recently played) tracks downloaded on my phone.
