**SoulSync 2.8.1** is out 🎉 a feature + reliability release.
-🎧 **Export playlists to Spotify & Deezer** — the mirrored-playlist export now has **Sync to Spotify** and **Sync to Deezer** right next to the ListenBrainz / JSPF options. it builds a playlist in your account from the track IDs soulsync already has — the discovery cache first, then your library — so an already-discovered playlist exports **instantly with zero API calls**. re-exporting updates the same playlist instead of duplicating it, and an optional *"match missing tracks"* toggle confidently searches for the stragglers (a wrong-artist or karaoke version is left out, never guessed in). spotify needs a one-time reconnect for write access. (#945)

+### 🎧 Export playlists to Deezer (#945)
+the mirrored-playlist export modal now has **Sync to Deezer** next to the listenbrainz / jspf options. it builds a Deezer playlist in your account from the tracks soulsync already has the Deezer IDs for:
- resolves each track from what's already on hand first — the **discovery cache**, then your library's stored IDs — so for an already-discovered playlist it's instant and uses **zero API calls**
- re-exporting **updates the same playlist in place** instead of spawning duplicates
- an optional **"match missing tracks"** toggle does a confident live search for the stragglers — and only adds a match it's sure about (a wrong-artist or karaoke version is left out, never guessed)
-- service buttons grey out + point you to Settings when that service isn't connected
-- spotify needs a one-time reconnect to grant playlist-write access
+- the Deezer button greys out + points you to Settings when Deezer isn't connected
+- _Spotify export is wired up but waiting on an on-demand write-permission flow, so it's hidden for now_
### 🏷️ Library Reorganize — Rename only (#875)
a lighter reorganize action: it just **renames your files** to your current naming scheme — no re-tagging, no quality/AcoustID re-check, no copy-to-staging. much faster on a NAS, won't fail on post-processing reasons, and only touches files whose path actually changes (which also fixes the "2 of 14 previewed but everything got modified" album-splitting). pick it from the new **Action** dropdown in the reorganize modal.
