Okay, I'm having some trouble migrating from BB to Android. I promise I spent hours reading up and attempting restores. None worked. When I finally got it to work, PT crashed out and keeps crashing. Last use of PT on BB was 10/25/2011.
So... Can you help me to understand what each of these files are:
I have a few like this one: PT_B_3.0.15.dat (Where I assume this means it is from version 3.0.15). I have one with 0.5. another 0.6, and .10, .13, .15, and .16. These all have "Date Modified" ranging March and April 2011.
Then I have a bunch like this: PT_Backup_2011_06_28.dat (Where I assume this is in YYYY_MM_DD format. I have 10 of these with 6/28 being the latest. Each filename matches its "Date Modified" field.)
Then I have a bunch like this: PT_Backup_2011_10_25.dat.rem (Again, the filename dates and the "Date Modified" field match in each case. There are 61 of these .dat.rem files starting with PT_Backup_2011_07_08.dat.rem and ending PT_Backup_2011_10_25.dat.rem)
I also have one each of:
PT_B_2.6.7.tmp
PT_B_2.6.9.tmp
PT_Backup_2011_05_02.tmp
PT_Backup_2011_05_24.tmp
PT_E_1_29000.mp3.dat.rem
PT_T_19578.dat.rem
I have 30 of these: PT_TEMP_1.dat.rem (ending PT_TEMP_30.dat.rem). Interestingly, TEMP_1 has a date of 10/24/11 and TEMP_30 has a date of 10/10/2011. The dates ascend as the filenames descend. Hmmmm.
I also have a ton of PT_T_xxxx.dat files. I suspect these are partially downloaded episodes.
Anyway, can you help me remove the backup (and other) files I don't need so I can run a successful restore? Also, based on the filenames above (and the fact that my PT on BB was up-to-date with the latest beta as of 10/25/2011), which version of PT for Android should I be installing?
Please help. Been without PT for a week and some of my podcasts only give free episodes for the first week of their release (can you say This American Life!!!).
Many thanks.
