Cpasley Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Opened Poweramp this morning to discover all songs in all my playlists (there are many) were gone. The playlists themselves are still there but no songs in them, bummer since I spent months putting them together, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Most likely your sdcard was dismounted whilst your phone was switched on. When this happens both android and Poweramp will rescan, clear out old data (as it no longer exists) and if it finds tracks again, will rebuild its media database but unless you backed up your playlists as .m3u8 or .m3u, your playlists are empty as the refound tracks are treated as new tracks. If you do not have an external sdcard then the above does not hold and something else happened but i cannotthink of what that might be. Ps. I believe Poweramp even has a setting to prevent a rescan in cases as described above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Have you checked the relevant options in Settings > Library > Playlists? (especially 'Resolve Playlist Entries', which should be turned OFF to prevent this happening during automatic scans). If these are already turned off, it sounds like an old issue might have resurfaced. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Hey Andre That's one thing had seen when troubleshooting, it initially was off but I had switched it back on in hopes of fixing my problem. I switched it back off after what you said.

Peto Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Same issue here. All playlists there, all empty. Songs remain in their folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
