I recently switched to a bigger micro SD card and lost all my playlists and data like play counts etc. because my music folder went from /storage/0123-4567/Music to /storage/F1B7-17ED/Music
I'm changing to a new phone soon and was hoping there would be a way to prevent losing that this time (or any time I change SD card), either by doing something that would preserve the original file paths somehow or having the player recognise that it's the same things in a different root directory (if that's the right term). I'm pretty average with tech so I wouldn't really know where to start.

not easily but its possible. backup stats in app and it'll write a file to /storage/gmmp named like stats.bak ors omething like that. copy that file to the new device and open it up in a text editor with a "find and replace" feature. replace the old sdcard name with the new name (0123-4567 to F1B7-17ED) and make sure your music is located in the same location on the new card. You can then run a restore on the new device (put the stats.bak in /storage/gmmp on the new device)

This does work as I've recently done the same.

You can also change the SD-Card Serial Number (also called Volume ID) to the one from the old SD-Card. Then it works straight forward if you copy the music in the same folder structure to the new sd-card. I've used AOMEI Partition Assistant for that, which was very easy to use. (Here's the guide: www.diskpart.com/articles/change-sd-card-serial-number-7201.html?)There are also other alternatives out there to do this, for anyone interested: https://gist.github.com/dreamer2908/59066658df2844746e5feadba7a589a2 |

advanced settings -> backup
backup/restore requires the full version to be purchased.
yes ratings are backed up and will be restored as long as the file path matches

code shows it should work with the unlocker and the IAP unlock. Try force killing the app and relaunching it

does "full version unlocked" show under the about section? If not then your purchase of the unlocker did not go through (if you bought the in app purchase.. if you bought the standalone unlocker you need to actually install it for it to work)
