app has potential but just needs more options

I like the app for its simple interface and options but it would be nice to store folders within the app. I tired placing two folders which has difrrent playlist. Unfortunatey one folder will repace the other. So in other words you would go back to your finder window to select another folder with music to play. Kind of like the analog days when a record or cassete tape would finish playing then you would have to switch sides to the B side of record or tape to continue playing lol. Thus the 3 stars. I purchased the pro because checking on the last update for app was March 2024. I’m hoping developer will continue to add more options but keep it simple at the same time which I imagine thats what they’re going for in this app.
almost great

(1) it doesnt allow for double clicking to play a song. theres an autoplay setting but i dont need the playlist to start playing just because i clicked on it so i have this off. (2)cant sort the songs manually or its broken. i tried to drag the song it doesnt work. i tried to use the “edit” button for the playlist and it looks like a burger stack icon should be used to move the songs around but that also doesnt do it. i can “move it” like theres an animation for it but nothing happens. very frustrating (3) also cant rename my song. i click save, nothing saves. (4) theres a song count column (#) in the playlist headers section that you cant disable which is just a small annoyance. i moved it to far right and when i open the app again it reverts right back to the far left column and since im working on an album i have each song numbered but not every song is in the playlist yet so its throwing off my system. — unfortunately due these things i wont be using the app even tho i just got it 1 hour ago. im bummed because it has a great ui for the most part and it is almost exactly what ive been searching for for 3 weeks.
Wow! Big improvements!
