Note: v4.0.0 uses a new metadata extractor. If your file has out-of-spec tags (i.e duplicate tags), this can cause the metadata extractor to yield different metadata, causing Auxio to "forget" your playlists. This is a very rare issue, but if you are concerned I would highly recommend backing up your playlists before updating just in case.
