Title: How to retrieve Bookmarks from appdata aimp profile folder
Post by: js12oo on September 16, 2021, 12:35:56
Somehow I've lost my bookmarks and they are no longer visible when accessing bookmarks manager.
Is it possible to retrieve them?
I still got my old AppData/Roaming/Aimp folder which includes file Bookmarks.adb in /AudioLibrary folder.
When I open it I can see some of my old entries but file is written in format notepad can't handle.
I guess this is question for aimp devs only.

So, seems you have installed AIMP5, but now have revert to AIMP4, right? Only one way to restore bookmarks - restore player and settings from backup that created by installed before update.

Yes. That's exactly what I did.

I've had light bulb moment and this is what I did to bring my old bookmarks:

I've installed aimp 5 again, opened my bookmarks, saved them as playlist and lastly uninstalled aimp 5.
After that I've installed aimp 4 and imported my saved playlist, right clicked on it and choose bookmarks>add option.

The only thing I lost is timestamps but I can live with that.

So, what you miss in v5?

I'd been jumping between v4 and v5 because of those bookmarks.
I can't say much about v5 because I haven't spent much time with it yet. I'll send my impressions in the future.
But I'd love to see refreshed Euphoria (https://www.deviantart.com/angelag3/art/Euphoria-skin-for-AIMP3-190487139) skin for v5 because it has live equalizer and has ability to add analog meter visualization to it.
