Double Migration: New Server, New Computer;Problems with Rename, Move & Copy
Day Radebaugh:
I've been able to import my media file from the new server with all tagging information intact. Music plays, and filenames refer to the new server. Took 5+ hours to analyze all the audio, 500GB/8K+ files. I backed up the library as soon as it appeared to be functional and complete.
Couple of questions:
1. My media file is /New Server Name/NewMusic/, but I also have a folder /New Server Name/RS Music/ which contains 106 files (16.6MB) of parameter information in kilobyte-sized files with the .jmd suffix. I can recall entering this file name on some menu or other, but can no longer find where I specified it. I'd like to change the file name for mnemonic purposes; can you tell me where in MC I might change the name of this folder? As MC was analyzing the audio, it continually updated files in this folder.
2. I notice music does not start playing on the first double click; I have to double-click the item twice. Is this this the Wake on Lan business?
Thanks you again for your help.

I'm afraid I'm back at square one. I had MC pointing to new server, playing well, then I had to restart Macbook. Now I have no library at all.
I still have my Media File (8600 music files) on new server, and am apparently going to have to start from scratch again. I cannot find a good backup of the library that I backed up as soon as things seemed to be looking good.
Any suggestions please?

That's very odd. Where is the library stored (not the media files)?
Where did you back it up to?
MC by default on Mac backs up into the Documents folder under JRiver then the MC version.
Day Radebaugh:
I don't honestly know why I couldn't load the backup. In any case, I set up a new library from scratch by:
1. /File/Library/Library Manager/Add Library--the Add Library function looks for am empty folder, by the way
2. Importing 8671 music files
3. Checking to see that the tags were there, and the music played
4. Backing up the library to a secure location.
I don't know why this happened either. In any case, I can close MC, and open it again with all the music there. In addition, I have two zip files in the folder I designated for backups:
/Users/day/Downloads/RS1221NewMusicLibraryBackup/MC Library Backup (RS1221NewMusicLibrary - 2023-01-08 20-20).zip and /Users/day/Downloads/RS1221NewMusicLibraryBackup/MC Library Backup (RS1221NewMusicLibrary - January).zip
One appears to be the folder from the manual backup I performed, the other is January's backup???
I certainly appreciate your help.
Day Radebaugh:
Sometimes I bounce back and forth between MC and YouTube. I notice that I have to close MC to listen to YouTube, and have to re-open MC to gain control of the sound card after listening to MC.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks
