Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee not putting podcasts in correct location on iPhone

Yup, as Anthony said you can copy the Banshee folder to a different
location to avoid losing playcounts, ratings, playlists, etc.  Renaming
the current folder will make Banshee automatically create a new folder,
so something like: `mv ~/.config/banshee-1 ~/.config/banshee-1-bak`
should work.


One problem with this approach (correct me if I'm wrong) is that although Banshee will reimport all the music correctly (losing play counts and ratings I guess, but I don't use either), it won't reimport Podcasts that are in your library but that are gone from the RSS file. This happens fairly often with popular podcasts (i.e. This American Life) where, to keep bandwidth use down, only keep the latest episode available. All other podcasts still available need to be re-downloaded.

So, if you delete your banshee files, there's no way to get those old podcasts back into your banshee podcast library but to import them as Music.

    Copy it somewhere else first... then delete it so if it doesn't work
    you haven't lost anything.  Sorry if you had already considered this
    as obvious.

        Is it possible something in the old Banshee database may have
        carried over?
        I've been using this database since 1.6 I believe. I don't like just
        deleting databases but if it will fix a problem I'll give it a shot.
