andrewilley Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Just uninstall 981 and install the current version from the Play Store. Not much point though, 981 doesn't have any particular reasons to avoid that I'm aware of. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 All backup options exported from 981 will be compatible for importing back into the previous stable release (976). Or just use a different skin in the meantime. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 It says that selecting those later items will mean the backup is not compatible with OLD builds of Poweramp, it's fine for recent builds. The new format of backup file (which is more of a ZIP archive, containing lots of extra stuff such as Ratings, Album Art files, List Memory settings, etc) uses a filename extender of .poweramp-settings, whereas the old simpler backup file wrote/read .poweramp-backup files. From memory, it was around 2+ years ago that those new export/import features were added - so as long as you're not trying to go back to seriously old archive builds of Poweramp which can only read/write the original backup format, you'll be fine. Remember that not everything about your setup will be restored - for example 'Date Added to Library' for all files will be reset to the new reinstall date, and restored internal playlist names will now include the restore date in their names. Hence my suggestion to just use a different skin in the meantime. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
