Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?
Thanks -- but most of the music in my playlists is from qobuz (basically I make playlists of all the new releases each month of the music I'm interested in) mandryka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110995 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Let's take an example and assume "D:\Music" is your root music folder and you have a structure under this that's something like "D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\[Songs]". For absolute file locations in your playlist the song entries would be; D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song1 D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song2 D:\Music\[Artist]\[Album]\song3 For playlists using relative file locations in the root music folder "D:\Music\[Playlists]" the song entries would be; [Artist]\[Album]\song1 [Artist]\[Album]\song2 [Artist]\[Album]\song3 In this manner I can copy my entire library (\Music\*), including playlists, from a Windows PC to my android phone and not have to change a thing. The relative position of the song files does not change across platforms. I've not tested with *nix or Apple platforms, but I would guess they would work the same as Android.

Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?
This may sound like heresy to some of the SB folks, but I have all my playlists in my root SB music folder. I've found this works very well as long as you use relative file locations rather than absolute file locations in the playlists. This also allows me to move my entire music library between different OS platforms with no trouble. If you use absolute file location in playlists and have the playlists in your SB music folder LMS has been known to show duplicate music as a result of the way LMS scans playlists, this doesn't happen when using relative music file locations in playlists.

Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?
No SyncBack is still excellent at what it does, but I use Dropbox for all my stuff now so I never have any backups to schedule. jimwillsher's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=410 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110995 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] How do you backup playlists?
I no longer use SyncBack, but when I did I always chose to back up C:\ in my task, excluded it, then manually included the folders I wanted. Or, just create two backup jobs then create a parent and back that up instead. 2822828229 +---+ |Filename: SB22019-09-21_143707.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28229| +---+ jimwillsher's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=410 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110995 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
