Where Does foobar2000 Store Config and Playlists?
foobar2000 profile folder with config, playlists and components for installed versus portable modes.
Last updated
foobar2000 keeps its profile (config, playlists, components config) in AppData for installed builds or next to the exe for portable ones. The mode is chosen at install.
Portable mode is the migrator's friend. The entire setup moves as one folder with no registry or AppData involvement.
Where foobar2000 stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\foobar2000
Profile root for installed builds: config, playlists and component data live here. Portable builds keep the same tree next to foobar2000.exe. Close the player before copying.

Copy the whole profile folder with foobar2000 closed. Playlists, layout and component settings travel together. Reinstall components on the new machine if paths differ.
