Reading other issues about syncing, it appears that people do not in general
see either Shuffle or its peer (currently Tracks) as the "master" application.
Rather, they want a balanced sync approach.
This should not come as a surprise.
It means, however, that it wouldn't be enough to export "data". It would be
required to export "transactions" instead (and it would be best if those
"transactions" would be "normalized" beforehand).
What's worse is the fact that in this case, conflicts need to be resolved. In
those good old days, Palm was the only company having this under control.
The ugly part starts when you want Shuffle to sync with at least one "dumb"
application (where Shuffle resolves conflicts via a simnple API) as well as
with at least one "smart" application (where the application aims at resolving
import conflicts in an intransparent way hidden behind a similarly "dumb" api).
I'd love to know how syncing between Shuffle and Tracks works today?

As for me, I just need a way to backup (and restore) shuffle db without messing
with tracks.. Just in case...

Backup and restore is possible in "Settings". I'll check out how Shuffle
exports the data and let you know, if I find something interesting.

@vovkav, the functionality you request is already implemented and works fine,
just as LippertsJan pointed out. As long as you don't want to use the data as
an export to another tool, that is. In other words, backup to and restore from
SD card are provided.
bebadosa clearly asked for a different feature, namely, a mechanism to sync
Shuffle to a fully flavoured, different application.

In the package org.dodgybits.shuffle.android.preference.activity there are the
classes PreferencesCreateBackupActivity and PreferencesRestoreBackupActivity.
With the code in these two classes, their dependencies and especially
shuffle-dto you should be able to use the existing backup-files or to create
your own export feature.
