![]() I think this is what the recent poster is referring to as a "total mess" if you just copy your music files over to a new phone. In fact, editing the unique SD Card ID for playlists when copying to a new SD Card should be AUTOMATIC - it's not that hard! But today we have to do it manually. It is SO COMMON to want to transfer ALL your Poweramp settings to a new phone or copy your music and playlists to a new SD Card and expect to have it not break everything. My point is (as I think a lot of other users agree) that one has to jump through unnecessary and complicated hoops and/or install (and sometimes pay for) external tools to do what Android and/or Poweramp should do on its own. I wish there was a better player out there, but there isn't - which is why I paid for Poweramp. that I've accepted losing 90% of my Poweramp data and slowing re-adding them as as inevitable. I'll try these solutions, but I've already lost so much from changing SD Cards, phone re-sets, new phones, etc. Thank you andrewilley and flyingdutchman for your followups. ![]() You may find that forum user TheoKlink's "New Playlist Manager" app might help if you have a lot of internal playlists, ratings, etc that you want to retain between devices. ![]() Things like ratings and most-played counts will not be transferred, and nor will downloaded album art. The Playlist files can just be copied over (see 1 and 2 above). Poweramp should be able to work this out, but if not you may need to edit the files to reflect the new directory path format (M3U or M3U8 files are just plain text list of paths/filenames, and are really simple to edit if you need to).ģ) If needed, remember to export/backup your PA Settings and any internally-created playlists from your old device and then re-import the settings on the new one. Poweramp should still find it, but it would be worth going in to Settings > Folders and Library > MusicFolders once you have installed PA, and untick any locations that you don't want scanned, and just tick only the music folder located on your SD Card.Ģ) Such a change in directory naming can cause problems with playlists as they could now be referring to files in non-existent folders. Otherwise, copying via a USB cable to a computer and then back onto your new phone (also via USB cable) would be the next easiest option.ġ) The new device may use a different name for its SD Card location. iSyncr will sync your music, playlists, album art, ratings, play counts, podcast bookmarks, and more from iTunes to Android, then keep track of play count, ratings and playlist changes and sync them back to iTunes. I'm wondering if it's an issue w/ the M8 or KitKat b/c I never had any issues whatsoever w/ my Sensation using the exact same isyncr/Poweramp combo to load/sync/listen to my music.The simplest way would be to take the SD card out of your old phone and put it in your new one. iSyncr is much more than just a simple copy/paste operation. Track #1 plays, but the list reverts to the All Songs collection, and the next song in that list will play afterwards, not Track #2 from Playlist A. But when I go into a playlist and actually select a song, the song will play, but from Poweramp's general All Songs collection, not the actual playlist. Problem: Poweramp sees the songs just fine, as well as the playlists that I synced over. In Poweramp's settings, I selected the correct isyncr Files folder to be used as the relevant music directory and unchecked the music directory from the original transfer. ![]() I synced my music w/ isyncr over wifi with no problem (of course, I now have to figure out how to delete the duplicate music files that I transferred directly from my old phone (Sensation 4G) when I first got the M8, but that's a different issue). I could've sworn that it wasn't enabled before, but everything works now. I made sure that the Shuffle All was disabled, and problem solved.
