Give each saved account a clear local label and remove obsolete duplicates. Keep live playlist URLs private, especially when they embed credentials. A tidy account list makes it easier to identify which subscription, trial or test entry is currently in use.
What matters here
An Android player may store groups and favourites locally. Replacing a playlist can change those arrangements, and app data removal can erase them. Save the information needed to restore the setup before using a reset as an organisational shortcut.
Work through these checks
- Identify which saved entry is the active account.
- Rename local labels where the player supports it.
- Remove old test entries only after confirming they are no longer needed.
- Record important favourites before a migration or reset.
Avoid this mistake
Do not paste a complete credential-bearing playlist URL into a public note or screenshot to distinguish accounts.
How to judge the result
You should be able to open the intended account quickly and explain its status without revealing its login details.
