Where Does Guayadeque Store Library and Settings on Linux?

Guayadeque keeps its database in ~/.guayadeque, with settings beside it in the same folder.

Last updated

Guayadeque predates XDG folders and stores its library database, covers cache, and settings together in ~/.guayadeque. That single tree is the whole backup. Music files stay in their own folders elsewhere.

Copy the folder with Guayadeque closed to migrate ratings and smart playlists. Large collections make the database heavy, so exclude cache subfolders when space matters. Rescan after moving audio.

In the database plus any exported files you saved. Export lists for other players before wiping the old host.
