Thanks. When I do "Settings=>Export Settings/Data" where do I retrieve the file to save on stick and take it to my car. When I do "Settings=>Import Settings/Data" in the car, does Poweramp auto detect where the files is ? Sorry I'm still a novice despite over 8 years of use. I'm aware it may not sound the same but rather than "reinvent the wheel" I intend to just tweak my old settings to suit the new environment.

Poweramp can't retrieve music files from Android 11 head unit.
Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Please bear with me, I am a slow poke at this -I'm almost computer illiterate. I think I may have located the problem though. On my PC my music is catalogued this way Artist name /Album name and year/song files. however when transferred to head unit the year is removed for some reason so it's Artist name /Album name/song files. so Album folders do not match. The challenge for me now is how do I batch remove the year using notepad ?. Since they were all either 19something or 20something (4 digits) I tried 19** and 20** find and replace with blank -it didn't work. -
Poweramp can't retrieve music files from Android 11 head unit.
Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
I did a batch replace on wpl playlist (example): <media src="C:\Users\akanm\Music\Main Library\George Benson\Give Me the Night 1980\6 Dinorah, Dinorah.flac" albumTitle="Give Me the Night" albumArtist="George Benson" trackTitle="Dinorah, Dinorah" trackArtist="George Benson" duration="220000" /> replaced C:\Users\akanm\Music\Main Library with /storage/emulated/0/Music/ : <media src="0/storage/emulated/0/Music/ George Benson\Give Me the Night 1980/6 Dinorah, Dinorah.flac" albumTitle="Give Me the Night" albumArtist="George Benson" trackTitle="Dinorah, Dinorah" trackArtist="George Benson" duration="220000" /> it made no difference, Poweramp still cannot play it. Since the playlists are many with so many songs, my goal is to find a format that Poweramp can read correctly and then do a batch replace as that is way easier than manually recreating the playlists from inside Poweramp. I'd appreciate if you can edit this specific example to show me what will work. Thanks -

Please, what does "Rescan/Resolve Playlists" do ? -

I hope I don't sound too dumb but I am no tech expert by any shot but just wondering -if Poweramp is able to get the song and artist name from wpl or m3u8 playlist but not the location of the song file, why not ask it to search through its own library and replace ? -

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Sorry to bother you can you please show me with the example what the edited path detail (either the M3u8 or wpl) should look like and I will try to see if I can do a batch replace. Thanks -

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Ok thanks. I did as you suggested here are the results: Song from Poweramp playlist exported: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-RATING:0 /storage/emulated/0/Music/Abraham Laboriel/The Bass Walk/The Bass Walk.mp3.mp3 Same song in a m3u8 playlist: #EXTINF:370,Abraham Laboriel - The Bass Walk Main%20Library/Abraham%20Laboriel/The%20Bass%20Walk.mp3.mp3 Same song in a wpl playlist: <media src="C:\Users\akanm\Music\Main Library\Abraham Laboriel\The Bass Walk.mp3.mp3" albumTitle="The Bass Walk" albumArtist="Abraham Laboriel" trackTitle="The Bass Walk" trackArtist="Abraham Laboriel" duration="370272" /> The song plays with metadata and all in the Poweramp playlist but will not play (or show metadata) in either wpl or m3u8 playlists. Like I said before it'd be tedious to recreate the playlists in Poweramp -there are 33 playlists (with at least 60 songs) made over many years. Hope a solution surfaces. -

I erased all music files from the head unit, created my own folder in the head unit's internal memory, then add music files and playlists afresh. Turn on Poweramp, did full rescan. Same problem, playlist can't play files even though they show in the library with their metadata and playable. There's however a curious thing happening -in a playlist of about 70 songs, there's one or two songs with metadata intact and playable. I don't know what else to do. -

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Thanks. The editing is going too be tedious for me -33 playlists with 70 plus files. I need a simpler way out. I'll try creating my own folder on the head unit internal storage with exact path of the wpl and see how it'd works. I'll update tomorrow, again thanks. -

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Thanks for all the responses. I changed all the playlists to m3u8 format, did full scan, Poweramp still couldn't play them -very frustrating. Here's the m3u8 sample. #EXTM3U #EXTINF:220,George Benson - Dinorah, Dinorah Main%20Library/George%20Benson/Give%20Me%20the%20Night%201980/6%20Dinorah%2C%20Dinorah.flac Contrast that to the wpl I posted earlier <media src="C:\Users\akanm\Music\Main Library\George Benson\Give Me the Night 1980\6 Dinorah, Dinorah.flac" albumTitle="Give Me the Night" albumArtist="George Benson" trackTitle="Dinorah, Dinorah" trackArtist="George Benson" duration="220000" /> All my music is in a folder MUSIC on the internal storage of the head unit, I'm wondering if I create a folder called Main Library and move all the music files there so the path will now be Music/Main Library/George Benson\Give Me the Night 1980\6 Dinorah, Dinorah.flac Poweramp might be able to read the wpl playlist. If as you said Poweramp ignores the rest, then the paths will almost be exact ? -

I could re-save these playlists as m3u8 if that's what it will take. Here's another list loaded on to notepad -this one is m3u: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,07 Up On Soul Train.flac ..\The Whispers\Imagination (1980)\07 Up On Soul Train.flac #EXTINF:0,01 Ain't We Funkin' Now.flac ..\The Brothers Johnson\Blam!! 1978\01 Ain't We Funkin' Now.flac #EXTINF:0,02 I Just Want To Be 05-21.mp3 ..\Cameo\Secret Omen 1979\02 I Just Want To Be 05-21.mp3 #EXTINF:0,3 I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops Up Side Your Head).flac ..\The Gap Band\The Gap Band II (1979)\3 I Don't Believe You Want To Get Up And Dance (Oops Up Side Your Head).flac #EXTINF:0,01 It's Time To Party Now.flac ..\Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio\Two Places at the Same Time 1980\01 It's Time To Party Now.flac #EXTINF:0,05 It's Been Cool.mp3 ..\Dexter Wansel\Time Is Slipping Away 1979\05 It's Been Cool.mp3 #EXTINF:0,1 Steppin' Out.flac ..\The Gap Band\The Gap Band II (1979)\1 Steppin' Out.flac #EXTINF:0,04 - I Love To Dance.flac ..\Kleeer\I Love To Dance 1979\04 - I Love To Dance.flac #EXTINF:0,1 Shake.flac ..\The Gap Band\The Gap Band (1979)\1 Shake.flac #EXTINF:0,01 Stuff Like That.flac ..\Quincy Jones\Sounds ...

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Yes, all the songs show in Poweramp LIBRARY-ARTIST or ALBUM or SONGS with all the metadata complete, and they are all playable. However only the filenames show in playlists with no artwork and wont play. I'm not android savvy but I have been using Poweramp since 2013 and have never had this problem. I sync these same playlists directly to my Note 20 ultra SD card with no problem. Pardon my ignorance could it be different on an android 11 car head unit ?

Poweramp can't retrieve music files from Android 11 head unit.
Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
I really appreciate your response, thanks. To manually edit the playlist replacing music files with ones from the library is out of the question -they are just too many playlists and each playlists is like 70 songs or more. I created these playlists from Windows media player on my PC synced them to a usb stick. then used the usb stick to transfer the playlist and music files to the internal memory of my car android head unit. The playlist music files sequence shows up correctly in Poweramp, but when I tried to play the playlist it failed to play the music files. All the music files in the playlist are found in Poweramp library, in fact I had to use queue to play them temporarily when the playlist failed. The playlists are all safe on my PC hard drive, do you think if I re-sync them using a different playlist format like m3u8u or something it might get Poweramp to see the music files ? -

Akanmu replied to Akanmu's topic in Poweramp Bug Reports
Thanks. I changed to legacy mode and was able to get all my playlist and music files in to Poweramp libary. The playlist files wont play, Poweramp can't find them, but when I go to Library-Artist or Album these music files are all there and I can play them. Please help ! I don't want to have to recreate these playlists again in Poweramp -they are many and lengthy. -
Error message when I tried to select folder: the folder selection system component seems to be missing/disabled/frozen on your device. alternatively you can enable legacy mode no activity found to handle intent {act=android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE (has extras)} I have no SD card plugged in to the head unit and all my music and playlists are in one folder in the head unit internal storage: Xtrons/Music I can't get any music to play on Poweramp -Help !!
