Where Does Qmmp Store Settings and Skins?
Where Qmmp keeps qmmprc, skins, playlists and plugin settings.
Last updated
Qmmp keeps its world in a qmmp folder under the config home: qmmprc for options plus children for skins, playlists and plugin state. The Winamp familiar UI reads everything from that one tree.
Portable builds use a config child beside the exe instead. Keep plugin versions matched across machines or restored settings reference missing pieces. Close the player before hand edits.
Where Qmmp stores this, by platform
~/.config/qmmp/qmmprc
Main config file with skins and playlists beside it. Portable builds use a config folder next to the exe. Match plugins across machines before restoring.
%APPDATA%\qmmp\qmmprc
Same qmmp tree under Roaming AppData. Skins and plugin state travel with the folder copy. Close Qmmp before editing or restoring.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset Qmmp settings?
Delete qmmprc while Qmmp is closed. Defaults regenerate on next launch, clearing wedged outputs and plugin states faster than toggling each page.
How do I migrate Qmmp?
Copy the qmmp config folder to the new machine with matching plugin sets installed. Skins ride in their own child folder and travel with the same copy.
