Library & playlists
Your playlists, YouTube playlists, automatic collections, sorting and syncing.
The Library tab gathers everything tied to you — playlists you made, playlists from YouTube, and collections SimpMusic builds automatically.
What's in the library
| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Your playlists | Playlists you created inside SimpMusic |
| Your YouTube playlists | Playlists from your signed-in YouTube account |
| Favorite playlists | Playlists you marked as favourites |
| Downloaded playlists | Playlists cached for offline playback |
| Favorite podcasts | Podcast shows you follow |
| Mix for you | Personalised mixes |
| SimpMusic Charts | The project's own trending charts |
SimpMusic Charts
SimpMusic Charts are the project's own charts — see what's trending among SimpMusic listeners. They live in the Library tab, and you can also browse them on the web at chart.simpmusic.org.
Automatic collections
Some collections need no upkeep — SimpMusic fills them from what you do:
- Favorites — everything you liked
- Downloaded — everything cached offline
- Most played — ranked by play count
- Followed — artists you follow
Creating a playlist
Tap Create in the Library tab and give it a name. The name cannot be empty — that is the only requirement.
Sorting inside a playlist
Open a playlist and use Sort by. There are four orders:
| Order | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Older first | Oldest additions at the top |
| Newer first | Newest additions at the top |
| Title | Alphabetical by track title |
| Custom order | Your own manual arrangement |
The chosen order is remembered across restarts, and it is a single app-wide preference — it is not stored separately per playlist.
Syncing with YouTube
A local playlist can be synced to your YouTube account, and unsynced again later. SimpMusic asks for confirmation both ways, since syncing changes what lives on your YouTube account and unsyncing breaks that link.
Suggestions
Inside a playlist, Suggest proposes tracks that fit what is already there, so you can grow a playlist without searching for each song yourself.
Downloading a playlist
Playlists can be downloaded as a whole. Tracks move through Downloading → Downloaded, and once complete the playlist appears under Downloaded playlists.
Downloads & offline
Cache behaviour, quality and storage limits.
