Auto Playlist

"Play by Folder" add-on that works with all music players.

Auto Playlist - Music Folder Manager

"Auto Playlist" is a discontinued Android app that generates automatic playlists for each music folder on your SD card. Designed as a 'Play by Folder' add-on, it seamlessly integrates with any music player. After a one-time setup, it operates silently in the background, updating playlists whenever music files are changed. Although no longer supported on newer devices, existing users can continue using its functionality to enhance their music experience.

App summary

Auto Playlist is discontinued

Starting Android 12, MediaStore playlists are no longer supported by Google. As a consequence, Auto Playlist will receive no updates and will not be available to newer phones or new users. Existing users will be able to use the current functionality.

Auto Playlist is a "Play by Folder" add-on that works with all music players. For each of your music folders on the SD card, an automatic playlist is created, which will always be up-to-date. (The playlists appear in your music player application.)

Auto Playlist is fully automatic. After installation, start it once and exit. You are done! Whenever you change your music files on the memory card, Auto Playlist will silently update the playlists in the background.

FAQ

- How do I use Auto Playlist?
- You don't use it. It works by itself, without your help. Just watch the playlists appear in the music player app.

- I added new songs to the SD card, how do I update the lists?
- Do nothing. Auto Playlist will detect the changes and update the playlists. In rare cases, the Android system does not detect the changes. In these cases, ejecting/reinserting the SD card, or rebooting the phone might help.

- Can I edit/delete the @-lists?
- You can, but Auto Playlist will undo your changes eventually.

- Where are the playlists?
- The playlists appear in your music player app.

- I don't need these lists, how do I delete all?
- Open Auto Playlist and turn lists off. (If you have already uninstalled the app, reinstall first.)

Internal storage swap is good

I don't get it. How does it work? It creates an alphabetical playlist?

Makes a lot of playlists with only one song. That's not very useful. At least will remove all the playlists it creates.
