Media Library settings conversion and backup

Peppermonkey · 1st March 2006, 14:18

It would be nice to have some functions in Winamp to backup and convert settings.

My issue is that I've taken a number of weeks rating my songs and such in my Media Library. I want a straightforward method of backing up my Media Library.

I also found that if you use the "per user" settings, your other settings are essentially hidden. I want a way to be able to copy settings from another user if it's possible. Perhaps there can be an export settings and an import setting option.

Please let me know if there's already something done for this, as this would be great to use.

I would like to see something like this as well. Don't know if it can be done, but it would be nice to backup things.

It may be convoluted but if Winamp hashed songs the MD5 or TTH or whatnot could link the song to its metadata... therefore if you do a complete rescan it will refind your songs even if you move them. That was my thought.
