Is there a way (even if it is a hack) way to backup smartlists?
My carefully designed smartlists are one of my major reasons for not testing the latests betas.

Sorry that I don't have an answer, but I will bump this because it's a really good question.

Would be a nice thing to keep them more than a day (til the next update...). Really no possibility?

I just reformatted my HD and reinstalled everything last weekend, and I tried to keep all my settings (and smartlists) by backing up the files that had changed in the MJ folder since I last installed it (I just viewed details and backed up anything that had been accessed by the program).
As it turns out, I didn't manage to keep my smartlists- but I found it was easier the second time around to recreate them- the problem I had was remembering them....

I will soon format my whole mp3 collection and try to remember my songs. This is more space efficient and easier to manage.  

Seriously, where are these things kept? In the library? In the registery? Some weird ini file? There should be some hack to take a backup?

My smartlists are stored in the file playlistx.jmd of the selected library folder together with the default smartlists. If you do a backup of the selected library, they will be in the zipped backup file.
Restoring the whole library should also restore the smartlists!
Not for sure -  but give it a try! Or you may copy back only the playlistx.jmd file, if you do not want to restore the whole library!

Thanx, will try it.
