Ability to sync a device to multiple accounts.

In an attempt to implement my own recycle bin-ish feature. I created a second Gaiagps account and tried to sync my device to that. Unfortunately this does not work. Because apparently on the device it keeps track of the fact that the track has been synced. Not that a track has been synced to a particular account.

  I think this should actually work, however you'd run into a potential issue logging back into the original account and it would try to make duplicates of everything -- so make sure to delete/re-install before logging back into the original account.

  I'm not really sure how to respond to "I think this should actually work". I tried it and it doesn't work, it was a while ago. Are you saying there is a recent fix which corrects this. Have you tested it and it does work for you?

  It isn't a supported feature, so I don't want to make any promises that it will always work -- however, this has always been the case for me:

  1. Log out of current account from the app

  2. Log into a different account

  3. Make sure sync is On from the setting menu

  4. When the sync reports as complete you'll see your data synced to the new account online, too.

  In most cases, I wouldn't recommend doing this because it could cause the data duplication that I mentioned above.
