Extract text from Retro Music Player backups (RMBAK)
To convert RMBAK backups to another format, you need Retro Music Player or other Backup software.
To convert other file formats to the "App Settings Backup" file type, you need software like Retro Music Player or a similar tool.
A .rmbak file is primarily a backup archive used by the Android application Retro Music Player to store user settings, customized themes, and playlist data. A secondary, older use for this extension is for system registry backups created by the now-discontinued PC Tools Registry Mechanic.
The main disadvantage of a .rmbak file is its highly proprietary nature. It is designed strictly for restoration within its specific parent application. You cannot open it directly on a computer, and standard media players or text editors will not recognize the data. Users frequently encounter restoration errors when moving between different app versions because the internal database schemas change. Furthermore, if you switch to a different music player app, your .rmbak playlists become completely useless.
Under the hood, modern Retro Music Player .rmbak files are just standard ZIP archives containing text or database files. The best workaround is extracting the contents rather than performing a direct media conversion. Recommended target formats include ZIP for extraction, and JSON, XML, or TXT for reading the raw configuration data and playlist paths.
Because this is an app-specific container, standard online converters fail to process it. Only the original software can natively read or export the structured data accurately. If our analysis detects the supported underlying ZIP format, viewing or extracting the embedded configuration files is still possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your RMBAK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert RMBAK file to BAK, BACKUP, OLD, TMP, TEMP, ARC, ZIP, TAR, GZ, 7Z, RAR or ISO, you can use Retro Music Player or similar software from the "App Configuration Backup Archive" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SNAPSHOT, OLD, IMG, RESTORE, ISO, COPY, VMDK, TMP, VHD, BAK, ARCHIVE or BACKUP files to RMBAK, try Retro Music Player or another comparable tool in the "App Configuration Backup Archive" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RMBAK converter.
