jhamilton9:
I use MC 26 on my MacBook with a 4TB external HD, which recently crashed. I've loaded a new HD however I can't get the JRiver playlists to source the music stored on the HD. Can someone please explain to me how I can source the music? I do get an error message that reads, " Can't create a Library at the specified location. Directory must be empty" What does this mean?

The library is a database which by default is stored in a folder underneath your user account.
If your music is stored on an external HD which crashed and you duplicated that exactly (including the name of the hard drive) your library should be OK and MC should just find the files. If anything in the path (name of hard drive, folder structure on the hard drive) changed MC won't be able to find your music. If your library is ok, you should just see the files in the library in list mode, look at a filename path to see where it expects to be seen and adjust the name of your HD drive or paths to match what was there before. This is the easiest way to get back to where you were.
