Backup and Restore saves your downloaded songs list and queue data to the cloud service provided with your smartphone's OS. You can use it to restore your data when needed. It is available on LINE MUSIC version 6.14.0 and later.

To use Backup and Restore, you need to purchase a LINE MUSIC subscription plan, log in with LINE, and register your device to the LINE MUSIC app.

If you backed up your data in advance, you can restore it if you:

• Want to restore it when you've reinstalled the app after deleting it.

• Want to transfer the downloaded songs list and queues you used on your previous device after changing device models.

• Lose your data due to an unexpected error.

The cloud services used are:

• iCloud on iOS (Apple Account required).

• Google Drive on Android (Google account required).

Also, if you're using the same cloud service account, backup data for multiple devices may be saved together. You can also restore and use backed up data on another device by switching accounts.

Making a backup

Important:

- If you're using iOS, make sure you have iCloud turned on.

- You need to register your device to the LINE MUSIC app. To check if your device is registered to the LINE MUSIC app, in the app tap the Library tab > Settings > Manage device registration.

- Up to 20 backups (in order of most recent) can be maintained. If over 20 backups are made, the oldest data will be automatically deleted while the newest data will be saved. Backup data deleted automatically or manually cannot be restored, so be careful when using Automatic Backups.

• Manually backing up your data

To manually back up your downloaded songs list and queues:

1. Tap the Library tab > Settings > Backup and Restore.

• Automatically backing up your data

To have your downloaded songs list and queues automatically saved to the cloud:

Important:

- Be aware that if you restore your data, the songs you downloaded before restoring it will all be deleted.

- Songs that cannot be played due to legal rights issues will not be restored.

- Backup data is not saved to your device but rather to the cloud and can be restored on any device the same account is registered to. LINE MUSIC can be registered on up to 10 devices. On January 1 of each year, the number of devices you can register your account to is reset.

1. Tap the Library tab > Settings > Backup and Restore.
