hi,

is there an easy way to re-download a track in a playlist without having to disable download option/clear data?

 

terima kasih

individual tracks need to be favorited first or part of a playlist to be downloaded.

As far as I can tell you can only download a complete playlist ...

when a track is removed from a playlist, it seems like the file is not immediately deleted. so when it is re-added to the playlist it still uses the same offline file as before

That's why I'm looking for a way to re-download just one track.

@makan may I ask what your goal is with the re-download? are you changing the audio file quality or?

some of some songs in my playlist can't be played properly. they only play part of the song and then skip to the next song.

temporary solution is just to clear all offline songs, which means I have to re-download the entire playlist contents

It would be very easy if i could re-download only the damaged songs.

so I would say, going back to your original post and question, that clearing the cache and/or data would be the logical troubleshooting step, a solution you already arrived at.

there may be something up with your device as well to cause the issue in the first place, but that will be up to you to solve.

best of luck.

Hi ​@makan !

 

My experience with adding songs to a playlist that has been downloaded is as follows:

On the Deezer Desktop app : every time I add a new song to a playlist that has been downloaded, that song is automatically downloaded and appears with green dot on the playlist immediately .

 

On the Deezer Android app : every time I add a new song to a playlist that has been downloaded, that new song is also automatically downloaded but you have to wait 24 hours for the green dot to appear .

Hi Nina

in my case, the playlist was downloaded 1 week ago. but because there were one or two corrupted files, I had to clear the data and re-download the entire playlist (900+ songs).

and this means I have re-downloaded 3 times in one month for the same case.

this happens on android

@makan 

 

By damaged files, did you mean that the picture is gray and it is impossible to listen because of that!?


If so, that means that the song is no longer available on Deezer .
On the Deezer desktop app, there is a possibility to replace a certain song with two arrows ,with the same song from another album (sometimes this possibility is not available)

For more information, see the link below

 

Unfortunately, I don't see this possibility on Android .

The song/track that can only be played partially and then the player skips to the next song.

maybe only 25%. - 75% of the song can be played before skipping to the next song.
