Where Does DeaDBeeF Store Settings?
DeaDBeeF config file on Linux with playlists and plugin settings.
Last updated
DeaDBeeF keeps settings, playlists and plugin state in a config file under its XDG folder, with DSP presets alongside. The foobar-inspired layout rewards keyboard-driven library management.
Converter presets reference encoder binaries by path, so moved toolchains break them. Copy the folder and every DSP chain plus playlist moves together.
