I have previously beeen using MC 16, because that is the last version before all the options I liked were removed . .. have been here since 9 or 10 . . .

I installed the beta with default options, which should have done what it promised to, but imported nothing. Now I am left searhing through multiple HDDs for where the old MC stored it's files and backups - hardly ideal  . . . so far, have found nothing, though I know they are there somewhere.

My issue is - why promise that the update will find and import your settings and data if it can't? I know this is a beta, so maybe this is just something to be ironed out, but given that I was FORCED to update this time, I am very disappointed.

Brian, I have already re-imported all of the media, it is the playlists I spent countless hours creating that MC has once again failed to import - why is this such a recurring issue, I have been reporting it for years?

Needless to say, whilst I can import backups, I cannot import the (up until now) extant library and it's playlists . . . even though they must still be there

K1lted:
For info, I AM running under an administrator account, and, whilst I have found the client files for the old version, none of the playlist info is within those folders.

JimH:
Playlists are part of the backup.  MC makes them automatically.  They are .zip files.  Usually saved in your User directory.  Here's an example:

C:\Users\JimH\Documents\JRiver

but substitute your user name.

File > Library > Restore

K1lted:
Thanks Jim, but as stated, whilst I have found backups (none since 2014), there are no playlists that have been restored . . . . I have since found that they seem to be stored in M3U format and am currently searching for them, but, once again, this was supposed to happen automatically . . .
