Moving a few tracks is easy. Importing a large library is where edge cases appear: two albums contain a file with the same name, a transfer is repeated after an interruption, metadata is incomplete, or a nested folder contains a path that should never be accepted. PhaseShift v1.1 hardens those edges so whole-folder imports remain predictable as the collection grows.

Safer Relative Paths

Folder upload needs to preserve useful nesting without allowing a supplied path to escape the music library or create invalid hidden components. Version 1.1 validates relative paths before placing files and falls back to safe names where appropriate. The same rules are used across transfer and import paths so a folder has consistent boundaries regardless of how it enters the app.

Different Files Do Not Silently Overwrite Each Other

Two tracks can legitimately share a filename, especially when they come from different editions or discs. If a different file already occupies the requested destination, PhaseShift keeps both by adding a numbered suffix to the incoming filename. That is safer than overwriting the first file and clearer than failing the entire folder because one name collided.

Repeated Transfers Avoid Unnecessary Copies

A transfer may be retried after a browser closes or a network connection changes. When PhaseShift encounters a file that appears to have already reached the requested destination, it can treat that item as transferred instead of creating another copy. Library-level duplicate checks also help prevent a known managed file from becoming a second song entry when it is offered again.

Sync Keeps Exact Paths Where Identity Matters

Manual imports can follow your Preserve Folders or Auto-Organize preference, but paired-device Library Sync has a different job: it needs the path agreed on by the two trusted devices. Version 1.1 keeps that protocol-directed path exact after validating it, so a personal organization preference does not break the identity of a file during encrypted device-to-device sync.

Reliability You Notice by Not Losing Work

Import hardening is not a flashy playback feature, but it protects the time invested in a personal library. Safer paths reduce malformed transfers, conflict handling prevents accidental replacement, and duplicate-aware placement makes retries less disruptive. Together with whole-folder Wi-Fi upload and the new organization setting, these changes make PhaseShift v1.1 better suited to real collections rather than carefully staged single-file imports.
