Trying to create multiple libraries

(1/4) > >>

wgapel:
I'm trying to create multiple libraries.
I noticed the local location for the first library I created when starting JRiver is C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 22\Library\Cache\
The files are WAV imported from path on network from NAS.
I created a new library of FLAC files by selecting local library and once again with path on network to NAS but it shows this libraries local location is on my NAS.
Why is the first library I located on my pc's hard drive and the second on my NAS?

Shouldn't the path be the same for both since both were imported from the same location? Am I doing something wrong to create multiple libraries? I don't understand why first location on C: and second on NAS.

ferday:
you probably shouldn't be making multiple libraries for what (i think) you are trying to do

but if you insist on it, you can choose the library path when you click "add library" and create it.  sounds like when you did that you chose the NAS path as the "local library path" but that really means where the library is stored!  the import path comes later on when you choose the library auto import parameters

AFAIK you can't change the library location once it's set, but someone else may have a tip there

Trumpetguy:
Why do you want multiple libraries? If you want to distinguish between different file types, just use views with filters.

should I use the same path as the first library?

C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 22\Library\Cache\

If I load JRiver on another PC then I'll have a new path on that PC?
Will I have to create a whole new library for a new PC?

wgapel:
I want to create multiple libraries because I want to separate my friends mp3's from my WAV's and FLAC's.
