Android playlists: Migrate from old phone to new?

Post by samjones3 »

I use Black Player EX on android, with a large library (7000+ tracks) of flac and mp3

All audio files are on SD card

The android migration tools moved the playlists to the new phone... but all the playlists are empty.

Can MM5 pull the playlists off the old phone and migrate them to the new phone?

Thanks!

It likely is due to Path differences between the 2 devices. A text editor may allow you to fix this.

MediaMonkey can Sync from device to PC Library and from PC Library to device. It will require both the Playlists and media files to be in working order on the old device. For more on Sync, please see: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Tracks/5.0

I would be happy to patch up via a text editor, but I am not sure where to find the playlist files to edit... (I thought it was in a database?)

I have that. But will MediaMonkey then repush the media to the new device? (The media is already there...)

If the Playlists are only in the MMA database, then I don't think there is way to fix them.

Sync will try to match the files with the files on the PC and if successful not Sync a new copy to the phone.

In which format it migrated the playists ? As *.m3u or as *.pla ?
Does they corresponds to the folder structure on the old phone?
i.e. if a playlist in
/Playlists/playlist1.m3u
references track
/Music/artist/album/track1.mp3
then the track must be there also.
