iRp Sync emails and BackUps

[DaveRobinson]

Some other thoughts:
- you can also backup to Dropbox (Google drive, Box etc.) If you have their app on your computer or device, when you backup or share, it should list as a location to save (export) to.
- I have tested over 11,000 songs without any problems importing again

I don't use any of those apps, although I've read good reviews particularly regarding Dropbox. emails are my main tool for BackUps. 11,000 songs is a large file to email, I'll certainly do some experiments in the future.

the song code file is similar to a text file so is quite small (you see it when you paste to forums) and reconstructs itself within the app on import

I've noticed the song code you mention, it was even more obvious when in the past I've used the old web editor to build larger playlists. You can see the song code multiply as you add more songs. I think this is what sparked my curiosity in the first place.

if you are worried about losing songs, import from each device into iReal Pro on one as a master device then backup before you start deleting
- if you have the Mac version, it is much quicker to construct your playlists there (drag and drop).

I realised early on just how nice it is to use the Mac version for editing and playlist building. I'll follow your advice and use the Mac version as my master device from now on.

I often save individual playlists in dropbox and update each as necessary then have a composite backup for populating other devices for sync (as Bob suggested, Settings>erase all, then import the composite. Note that Settings like global transpose are reset to default so you will need to set these each time if necessary.)

Saving individual playlists is how I'd like to proceed here but using emails. I've made a composite backup and am busy building individual playlists at the minute. In the past my different devices have all had very similar content/playlists but as I'm working my way through this project I'm becoming even more aware of just how versatile iReal Pro is. Thanks for your thoughts, very helpful.
