Where Does Clementine Store Settings and Library?
Clementine config files on Linux with library database and settings.
Last updated
Clementine keeps settings in a .conf file with the library database alongside under its config folder, mapping your collection without moving audio. Play counts, ratings and playlists live in the database.
Strawberry forked from this codebase with a compatible layout. Copy the folder and the whole library state moves players intact.
Where Clementine stores this, by platform
~/.config/Clementine/Clementine.conf
Main settings file with the clementine.db library database in the same folder. Copy the Clementine folder with the player closed to migrate library, playlists and statistics.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my Clementine library?
Copy the full Clementine config folder with the player closed. The database inside carries the collection index plus ratings and play counts.
Where is the Clementine database?
Next to Clementine.conf in the folder above. Music files stay in your library paths and are only referenced.
