jamesrgeib Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have a new phone, and downloading or copying Poweramp from the old to the new phone was easy. However, there is no option to import favorites. Where are favorites stored for Poweramp? Is this a file that can be located on my old SD card or old phone internal memory and moved to the new phone? I had hundreds of favorites, now have none. Perhaps an option to save a 'favorites' file to use on a new phone? thanks! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 By favourites, do you mean songs you have marked as a 5-star rating? If so there is currently no way to export ratings (hopefully v3 will allow storing ratings inside the actual audio file tags, but at present it doesn't do this). You could save your old setup using an app like Titanium Backup and then restore (with data) to your new device, but that would require root on both devices.

jamesrgeib Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks Andre. That was my fear. Guess I'll start 5-staring favorites again! Great program. This is the only fault I've found after years of use. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrei1015 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 You might be able to retain the ratings if you backup and restore the app data for Poweramp with Titanium Backup. Not sure, but might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 How does the program store the star ratings? It has its own database, it does not write data back into the audio files. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingdutchman Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Another solution (although not perfect)is to use Playlist Manager by theoklink which has the ability to use the pa tags such as rating. By creating playlists for each rating and export to m3u format, you can move these to your new device. Pa can then pick these up again. Downside is that you still have to rerate them manually although you have all the tracks in a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
