hah, I've spent quote some time on changing the root path for the SD card (SD card's ID) as I that thought it was to blame If I already have few ratings and stats on the new device - could ratings import fail because of that, or is there a merge mechanism? I don't mind loosing these fresh ratings as there are just few of them. Full rescan also does not help, and deleting apps data through system's app manager also no longer an option (as it leads to PA's full rescan option). If anyone has any other ideas I'd appreciate. p.s. source device was running older android version, target is v13, but I doubt that should be an issue.

Would that fix the database? As I have noticed that export of ratings is just an sqllite database itself, and not an "export" format. Unless you do some kind of magic and merge dbs on import which fixes original corruption.

why such limitation and not even a notice but a success mesage with a restart of an app? Isn't this feature used most on device migration? and still in my case dir structure is absolutelly the same as I cloned the SD card and even cloned the SD card unique id (xxxx-xxxx). p.s. pls also see my earlier reply regarding using text file formats like json and not sqllite.

also as I see it is a zip file of an sqlite database. would be much better if you would use text file formats like json. I am saying that as text files could be edited easily if needed before import (I mainly have referring to the change of a tracks path, as android SD cards have different ids in paths). p.s. in my case I have solved that by modifying sd card's partitions and setting the same id to it, but still json would be easier and nicer as a special non freeware software is needed for modifying SD card's ID.

Hi, I am trying to export data from old phone to new one. Mostly I am interesed in track ratings, but they are not imported (yes, I select them when exporting from old phone). I am uwing the lastest version (as of today). I have even made a tracks only export and tried to import. But still +4000 entried were reported as imported, but on new phone tracks are not rated.

As I see in that backup (zip file) there is a sqlite database with song ratings where the paths of the sonfs are stored too. As I want to upgrade current SD card to a larger one: Do I need just to swap a new card with the copy of old card music and reimport the settings? Will it update the paths for the rated songs (new card will have a different random 8 hex digit path prefix) or do I need to tweak that sqlite db manually to the new paths before importing the setitngs/ratings? Thanks

Damn that android and it's crappy default behaviour.

Hi, Sorry for half rant, but you are long enough in that app creation business to learn how to make UI understandable and not currently confusing. 1. After version update I have some issues. I do not know which version Of have as industry standard "help" menu does not have a "about" submeniu showing the version. 2. After update I no longer see a button in lock screen to go to previous song (only pause and next). Checking the settings, it is impossible to find (without reading half of this forum), how to make that button appear. I believe there was the same issue with older version and I had to find in forums how to enable it. But now even in logical place "Settings" - "Lock Screen" there is nothing for that. Please use industry standard ways and do not reinvent the bicycle where not necessary. P.s. I was talking about the default lock screen widget and not the custom one which needs to be enabled to overwrite over apps where it allows to use full Poweramp features without unlocking the device. The default lock screen widget just needs to show "previous" button next to "pause" and "forward". And pls do not tell that's because of limited space - find the space!
