Hi Pavithran,

If you want to manually backup the music app's database then the data under this
folder should be what you are looking for: /data/local/storage/persistent

We basically put the app's database under this folder so not just music app but
also the other apps' data are stored here, you can simply use |adb pull| to copy
those app database folders, then after you flash some other version, put them 
back
then you should get the backed-up data.

I think if you perform a regular OTA on your device then music app's database
should be kept, it's probably you flashed your custom build and it's expected to
ease all of your data, not just music app's.

We are planning to support creating playlists in the music app in the later 
version,
and ux and visual teams are working on it. Probably you can watch the gaia 
repository
so you can get the latest music from it. All the gaia code are in the github, 
you
can check out here: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
and music app is under: 
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/tree/master/apps/music

Music2 was for the tablet project so the ui you saw is not up-to-date, we will 
still
work on the current music app and upgrade it to the latest version. Also the 
music
app on tablet should have a different ui to fit the different screen size, but I
don't have much to update here.

Hope these helps.

Thanks,
-Dominic

Subject: [b2g] Backing up the music app

Hi,
I have been building and testing new versions of B2G regularly. I
would like my phone which I actually use as a phone and a music player
quite regularly be backed up.
Can I know more about the music player ?
Which folder does it back up its cache, playlists like highly rated etc.

I was more than happy when the later versions allowed backup and
restore contacts from memory card. Wish I could do the same for the
music app.
Also does anyone one when the music app would have playlists supported ?
Where exactly is the source code/issue tracker for music app located ? github ?

Added to all that I also like the Music2 app which comes when we build
from source.

Regards,
Pavithran
