flyingdutchman Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 @christmw2503 having looked into this a bit further, there are some sites that have ripped off my app and offer older versions so I would appreciate it if you could email me your gmail email address so I can reassure myself that you are a legitimate user of the paid app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Backing up and Restoring of Ratings, Playback Statistics, Artwork, Playlists, etc is now a core feature in Poweramp build 912. There are new (optional) choices in PA Settings > Export / Import. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my original thread on the subject, I suggested that any new backup format should internally use XML files, and store everything inside one large ZIP-compatible container. At least the overall file can be opened, shame the contained lists-export file isn't XML though. I assume that's the part that contains playlists, ratings, counts, etc. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 @andrewilley i assume it is for security reasons so you cannot import 'interjected' stuff My app still has 1 feature which Poweramp does not (yet) have, the ability to update ratings from the popm tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is embedding artwork back to files (even if it's just via a tickbox in the Info/Tags editor screen). I wondered if the use of a binary format was for filesize reasons (XML being more verbose) but it's so repetitive that the ZIP/compression code would eat up 95% of that. I can see there being security issues with user-editing the main settings file, but not simple ratings, counts, playlists, etc. It would always be at own-risk anyway, you'd need to dig into the archive first.
