Local Files not updating

Local Files not updating

Desktop app on Windows 10 64-bit

Local files used to update automatically. If you removed files, they would be removed from the local files list. Now, if you remove files, Spotify keeps the original versions in the local files list. They cannot be played but Spotify will not remove them. Nor can they be removed manually.

If you rename local files, Local files is updated with the new names and they will play, but the old versions are still present in the local files list.

Local files should sync with the defined local library. If files are present, they should be listed in Local Files. If files are not present, they should be removed from Local Files.

 

I realise streaming is the core business here, but if you're going to support playing local files, do it properly or don't do it.
