Root Music playlists on CYANOGEN MOD 7

[nshaw75]

I have just rooted my phone and installed the CYANOGEN MOD 7 Rom.

Before I rooted the phone I had a number of playlists which could be accessed by both the standard sense/htc player and PowerAMP which I used mostly. However, now I have installed CYANOGEN MOD 7 the playlists have disappeared ?
Any help would be appreciated guys.

they are gone
this is a common problem and down to android, htc and other music app makers

basically the playlists are stored on a dynamic database on the device. this is not like an m3u playlist and to this day there is not a program that will export it.
I learned this the hardway as i lost all my playlists many times as a 2.2 playlist is not compatible with 2.3 and 2.3.3 isnt with 2.3.4 etc etc list goes on.
if you back it up with titanium and restore it later to a newer android version you will corrupt it entirely and music will force close.

best thing to do that ive learned is to use a media play like foobar2000, create a playlist from the songs on the device (mounted as mass storage) and save the play list to the music directory of the files as .m3u
then it will always keep them, you will need to manually update them with your PC media player rather than android.
its a pain i know

i asked the creator of poweramp if he was going to add playlist export functionality and he said he would as its needed, however this was 6 months ago

A pain indeed. I will also email the developer about exporting playlists.

I don't suppose you can recommend a good app to rebuild my lists with? The original HTC music app was ideal for me as it would list all my music and I could just toggle which ones I wanted. Opposed to the way you can do it in PowerAmp
