My tablet was complaining about having less than 1gb free, and I had an empty 32gb SD card, so I moved MSP to my SD card, which now shows 2.91gb of stored files, and I have around 2.5gb of free space on internal storage. My MSP backup file is around 512mb.
I just exported a file to dropbox and was surprised to see the file location shown as storage/emulated/0/Android/ … /cache/ ... . Isn't that the internal storage name? Did I really move everything? When I did the move, it only got to 80% and froze there, so I rebooted the device and repeated the move. It seemed to skip up to where it had left off, and in the end reported that it moved 2475 files, which is the number of songs I have. I also have 83 set lists and some collections and some other fields.
So is it that my files are on the SD card, but the MSP app is still on the device, and it caches to the device the file I'm exporting? The set lists and fields - they are with the app on the device? By the time I finished writing this, I have sort of convinced myself that everything is ok. Maybe I should not have got so excited after all.
