Backing Up Playlists and Player Preferences

What this topic means

A backup is useful only if the receiving player can restore its format. Account details, favourites and category preferences may need different recovery methods.

Do not send a backup that contains a full private playlist to a public forum.

A useful first check

Use a supported export function when available, store the file privately and make a short note of the installed player and version.

Compare the result without losing the baseline

For player maintenance, begin with the comparison described above. Preserve the current account and record whether the action changes the symptom, leaves it unchanged or causes a new problem. Revert a setting that does not help before trying another.

Do not send a backup that contains a full private playlist to a public forum. If the issued account format or current availability is unclear, ask support for that information before changing an installation. A correct diagnosis depends on the source and player, not just the title of a website guide.

Separate the service, player and device

The service account sets the term and connection allowance. The player organises and decodes the available media. The device and network determine which supported playback route you can use. Use a supported export function when available, store the file privately and make a short note of the installed player and version.

What to confirm before a longer commitment

Use a supported export function when available, store the file privately and make a short note of the installed player and version.
