Back when I had an Auralic, I did this many times on 3 different devices due to constant issues with playback. Both with Apple and Samsung devices. It drove me knuckin' futz! Turned out that it wasn't an issue with any of the devices or the streamer itself, it was a communication issue caused by low signals on the wi-fi. I ended up getting a mesh network and that issue was instantly solved. Now, the issue rarely happens (maybe once a year). Even when I sold off the Auralic and got the Lumin, both my Qobuz and Tidal accounts (music selections, playlists, preferences, etc.) were unaffected.

Again, I do caution you. I do not have any locally stored files and with that said, if you do? You may very well lose some things. I wouldn't know, as I have never used one. You obviously wouldn't lose the music, but maybe the lists, playback history and whatnot.....but that's just an assumption.

FWIW, I even cancelled Tidal for a year or two and uninstalled it. When I started Tidal back up again after all that time? It was as if I had never left Tidal to begin with. All of my prior selections and whatnot were still there, as if I had continued with the account the entire time, never cancelling their service.

Mine is actually stored on both Tidal and Qobuz, respectively (each have their own respective playlists). The UX1 just pulls the playlists from both streaming services and plays whatever I command it to play, from any of my playlists on either streaming service. I'm not quite sure what Peter is referring too, unless he is talking about local file storage access memory.

There are also apps that can copy the playlists for you. I haven't used them, but I have a friend that has used them from time to time. Not sure if they have a limit of songs they can transfer/copy though, as I haven't ever had the need.

So, is my music playlist stored on the Lumin app or on Qobuz? Reinstall Lumin or Qobuz?

If you use Lumin app to play Qobuz, you're using Lumin app playlists.

If you use Qobuz app to Qobuz Connect to Lumin hardware you're using Qobuz account playlists.
 
Interesting. I use the Lumin app for both Tidal and Qobuz....but come to think of it, I don't recall ever having any issues since getting the mesh network and the Lumin (other than once). I could have sworn when I did have the issue, I uninstalled the Lumin app on my Samsung (either that, or my phone), reinstalled it and it there were no issues after that.....with no loss of any of my playlists on either of them.

That said, at the same time, I was also using a Linn app (Qobuz connect hadn't come out yet) to play music through my laptop in another room while in the office, via Qobuz. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Tidal already had Tidal Connect for a while at that point. I don't know if it makes any difference or not, but I also had 6 devices in the house that could operate the stereo.

But with that said, I'll bow out now. I'd hate to be the one responsible for you losing 10K plus songs. I'm just sitting here scratching my head though, as none of this makes any sense to me based upon my experience.

Maybe get another device altogether and see if everything is still visible? If it is, then you should have no issues doing a factory reset on the old device. The Lumin app would simply use that remote as another access point, if you will.
