Actually, while I have you, any idea how to get reverse sync working when using the GoneMad app on my phone? When I remove a song from my GoneMad app and reverse sync it (checking the 'playlists' box under 'Reverse Sync to computer') to my MusicBee app on my laptop - the song is not removed.. Then, if I sync my music from my laptop to my phone - the song I removed from GoneMad reappears..

Any idea how to fix this? Ideally, the song I remove from my phone playlist is also removed from my laptop playlist.

Hi phred. Oh My-- God.. That works! I tried something similar before but didn't choose 2 output folders (only 1) and the playlists didn't appear. I have now chosen 2 output folders a you showed and it works! I now have 2 options, cheers!  :)

I've tested it, and it works! Thank you franks and sveakul for your help!  :)

I still find it strange that playlists aren't automatically backed up via the backup functionality though - do you think this will be possible one day? Is there somewhere I can request this?

Cheers frankz, makes sense. Just to check (so that I don't lose the weeks it's taken to sort out my playlists):

1. If I take a copy of the .mbp files that are automatically updated on my device and put them in a separate 'backup' folder
2. Then add A NEW SONG to a playlist on my MusicBee app
3. Then delete the automatically updated .mbp files (which should include A NEW SONG)
4. Then add the copy I took in point 1 above to the same (now empty) folder

..all my playlists would still be in MusicBee, minus NEW SONG?

Hope that makes sense!

Haha, glad it's not just me being stupid  ::) Ok, so when I want to backup my playlists I can simply copy/paste the files from here https://imgur.com/j9orlPL (that are updated automatically in real time) to a backup folder that I create manually somewhere? And if I ever need to restore them it will be easy enough via File - Playlists - Import Playlists (from the backup location I created).. ?

Hi sveakul. Cheers. have to set Windows to "Show Hidden Files and Folders". The only MusicBee folder I can find is in my Music section of my hard drive. Is that the one? Please see screenshot: https://imgur.com/ODgmMKN

Hi frankz. Thanks, found my Playlists. Here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/j9orlPL I saw that 'Date Modified' section updates in real-time - which seems to suggest it recognises the current actions I'm taking on my playlists , and it's this that is backed up when I back up my playlists from MusicBee? My main question still remains though, where can I see the actual back up files? There's still no sign of them in the back up folder that's created when I back up MusicBee, see screenshot: https://imgur.com/lwkWPcg

Cheers for your continued help guys, appreciated.

Thanks frankz. However, when I follow that I see the same as I saw before - the 'Playlist' folder but with no sign of the playlists that should be in there (as per Reply 3 from sveakul above). Please see screenshot. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hi sveakul

That's exactly what I expected (to see the names of my playlists,  which I have about 10 of) but they don't appear when I try to look in the folder. As we can see in this screenshot from before (https://imgur.com/85AwdH2) when I click on the first 'Playlist' folder it shows another 'Playlist' folder - which, when clicked on, doesn't show anything inside..  :-\

And when I look at what's backed up in the folder it backs up to (https://i.imgur.com/bJG7WZP.png) there's no sign of playlists..

Am I looking in the wrong place maybe?

Thanks for the reply sveakul.

However, I can't find the "Library" folder.. Please see this screenshot: https://imgur.com/85AwdH2

On the other hand, we can see the Playlists subfolder (on the screenshot), so I presume that backing this up will allow me to restore my playlists if necessary?

Hi there.

Please see the attached pic - could you tell me which file stores the backed up playlists please?

I can't see which one it would be - and I want to ensure my playlists are being backed up.

Cheers :)

Portable Devices / Reverse sync from GoneMad
« on: June 20, 2021, 06:37:09 PM »
Hi there. I've searched but can't find the answer.

Playcounts reverse sync from GoneMad, but not Playlists. I have checked the relevant box in the MusicBee WiFi Sync page.

Basically, when I'm on my Android and I remove songs from playlists on GoneMad, I would like them to be removed from my PC version of MusicBee after I sync.

Please help! :)
