Martyy:
Here is my situation. I love my Pono music, am afraid to lose my library with the new beta PMV, and am happy to license JRiver software. My 5 year old laptop won't hold all my music so I purchased a new laptop with Windows 10. It is currently transferring all my music files on my C drive and will finish by tomorrow. Do I license and install the JRiver software on just my new computer? PMW is on my old computer. Do I install JRiver on the old computer also since that contains my Pono music library. Do I install PMW also on my new laptop. I am very confused and appreciate all the help. As you can tell, I am not used to difficult computer configurations. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.  You can install JRiver Media Center 22 on your current machine if you want to, then again on the new machine.  You have a 30 day free trial before you have to purchase.  The coupon is only good through January 7th though.

You could also back up your library in PMW and restore it in MC.

Here's how licensing works:

Jim,
Thanks. Will do. Do I Have to also install PMW on my new computer? How will my music library, which is being downloaded to my C drive as we speak populate the JRiver software allowing me to connect my Pono device to it to install or delete new music files onto the Pono device? Will I get the same prompts to transfer files to either the E or F drive on the Pono device? Will the album art and metadata exist as it does now in PMW?
Once the downloading is complete by tomorrow, I will install JRiver. As you can tell, I just need to be able to download HD concerts, rip CD's and put them on the Pono devise for listening. Very unsophisticated, but all I need.

JimH:
You'll need to install MC on the new computer.

The wiki topic called Moving Files may be some help.

Martyy:
I purchased JRiver media center 22, but not all my audio files, which are on the "this PC>Music folder on my computer, shows up. I followed the advice to import single files, but when I right click on the files it doesn't give me an 'import' option. What am I missing? How do I get all my music files on the MC.
Also, since I am a Pono user, can I now hook up my Pono device into the computer and transfer single files onto the device just like I did with PonoWorld? Will it give me the same prompts when the Pono device gets connected?
Thanks for your help.
