GUYS IVE FOUND IT! Thank you for helping! Jefftheworld, your reply made me go through every single folder on my device. it was hidden in an obscure place. I had previously only looked in most folders and used the search function which returned nothing.

Wtf is the point in having a search function that doesnt work? I have literally typed in the name of the file and it doesnt come up with it even though i know its there now... I never thought id say this but im missing windows.

Where was it in the end?

Cant find my lsdj save!]]> Unfortunately I am in hospital for a while and dont have access to my pc. I guess the question is, is it safe/ worth carrying on with the song on my android device? Where are the save states stored? I could move them and run the emulator just to make sure what im seeing is a .sav being loaded and nothing else, at least then i know it can be sorted/ transferred at a later date.

Cant find my lsdj save!]]> Okay update, i took the plunge after having screenshotted every damn phrase and closed the app, i made sure i un checked the option to load save states automatically. Loaded the app back up and the rom, my song is still there.. Its not a save state, So there MUST be a .sav somewhere, i just still cant find it. Im running kitkat 4.4.2

If it's on Android 5.0 or higher it might not be able to do that, unless you're running a custom Android rom that allows it, apps are no longer permitted to write outside their own directories unless they have SD permission.

I haven't experienced that (yet) on my 5.0 devices (Note 3 and Nextbook Ares 11).  Savs appear in my Downloads folder or wherever the rom happens to be.  That'll suck when I can't keep roms and savs together automatically.  sad

I don't yet know if my song will still load... You see, I've been working on this song for a good few days (tablet has been on constantly) so I'm terrified of closing it now. I guess i really should have tested it with a few notes first. I am a stupid cat. Suggestions?

Oh and my sd card is brand new bought last week.

Cant find my lsdj save!]]> Assuming your songs are still there when you load them, there's just another directory somewhere that it's stashing your sav. Sometimes I've seen emulators use a hidden folder in unix-systems or a folder in your documents directory instead of putting it in the same place as the rom.
