All of the music players I’ve tried let you import or export .m3u playlists, but none of them automatically scan a folder for playlists nor update the .m3u realtime. I’m trying to sync playlists between my laptop and phone.

    The workaround I use is to connect my phone to my computer via bluetooth, and then linux/kde acts as a speaker/headphones.

    So then, phone audio goes through my computer instead. I just play all audio or podcasts on my phone, and that’s how I sync up my playlists, and where I’m at in them.

      This. Specifically, if you want to do things like sync playlists and listen stats between different devices (e.g. Android, iOS, Windows, macOS), you want a dumb client that connects to a server that handles all that. I do it on Plex but Navidrome looks awesome.

    I use foobar2000 on android, not sure it does what you want but it does import .m3u playlists

    I also like fossify music player, works with playlists but not sure about scanning like you say https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.musicplayer

    Ive been using opentune (from fdroid) that i use for youtube music (you have to log in to a youtube accnt, but it lets you download off youtube), this also scanned my phone for files but again not sure about playlists

    i mostly just listen to albums because i am a very sophisticated person :p
