Where Does Phonograph Store Playlists on Android?
Where Phonograph keeps playlists, settings and artwork cache on Android for backup and moves.
Last updated
Phonograph splits Android state two ways: playlists and settings in app private storage, music files in shared storage wherever you ripped or synced them. Scoped storage hides the private half from file browsers.
Export playlists for moves; the database alone misses the mark without them. Artwork cache rebuilds on demand, so leave it out of small backups. Reinstalls wipe private data, so export before removing the app.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Phonograph playlists to a new phone?
Export playlists to files inside the app, then copy those plus the app backup off the phone. Settings travel with device backup, playlists need the export. Reinstalls wipe unsaved queues.
Where is the Phonograph artwork cache?
Open Settings inside Phonograph and read the storage entries. Artwork cache sits in app storage while music stays in shared folders. Clearing cache never touches playlists.
