Updated files not overwriting

Long press the song, tap the three dots at the top right and select "Swap File" from the dropdown to initiate the swap.  You can also just use a file manager to replace the file, as the app will scan for changes when it realizes the timestamp on the file has changed.

I could consider adding an option in the future to allow people to update existing songs when using the import feature if a conflict is encountered.  If multiple songs use the same file though, this would effectively update all of the songs at once.  I'd like to hear from people if this would be more intuitive and useful than the current behavior.

Thanks for the information. I understand better what the app is doing.

What text editor would you suggest if I wanted to just navigate to the storage and edit the file there
