Restore Equalizer Song Assignments

[edankleef]

Is there a way to open and edit the Poweramp backup file?

When opening the simcard tray of my Samsung S20+ without unmounting the SD card in the software, the SD card unexpectedly gets removed.
I assume that this regenerates the mounted SD-card ID, which changes the path to all my songs stored on said SD card. Therefore all equalizer settings assigned to songs lose their song assignment.
As I have over 800 equalizer settings specifically customized for each song, re-assigning them manually is basically impossible.

This is why I want to search and replace the old SD-card ID with the new one inside the Poweramp backup file.

No, the Poweramp backup file is not easily human readable, sorry.

Hi Andre, thank you for your fast reply.

Is there another way? The older Poweramp versions did not struggle with restoration of song assignments. I really don't want to lose all the effort I have put into the equalizer settings.. Especially since this will probably be a problem when switching phones as well.

If you restore the backup, as far as I know it should try to re-match song files to their settings (even if the root path name has changed). In the same way it attempts to resolve playlist entries.
