basic update question for installing MC25 on new laptop

<< < (2/5) > >>

lepa:
This assumes that mp3 files actually are already in your new laptop

Short version from that import wiki:
- Select from menu bar: Tools > Import. Select "Configure Auto-Import" and press next.
- Media Import window opens.
- Press "Add" and "Folder Settings" opens.
- Press "Browse" and navigate to your folder where all your mp3 files are. Choose the folder with mouse and press "Select Folder"
- You are now back in the Folder Settings:
  - Select mode: Include this folder and  all child folders.
  - On Import these file types select Audio
  - Press Ok and then Finish. You are all set.

At some point auto importing should now start in the background
Hope this helps. Images also added to illustrate instructions

Outstanding, Thank You, That all seems doable. I have screwed this up so much I have printed your notes as well as the Wiki pages for Auto-Import. I will get some assistance and go thru it carefully. A little more delay is no big deal, I will be very happy to get this done.

Randy Alexander:
I still have my MC25 working fine on my old laptop and love it. I attempted to install same on a new laptop and while MC25 is there not all my files are included or are any of my playlists included.
My iTunes library did not import properly as well as there are many missing files and this may be the issue.
I am taking my laptop in for service for someone to do a "data transfer", delete & reinstall iTunes on new laptop. I am assuming that JRiver retrieves from iTunes.

My question is this, Do i need a new "install key" to reinstall MC25 or since it is there already can we work with that to get all my songs included. I have really struggled with this and have gotten more confused over time. Any direction would be much appreciated, I only use JRiver with my music streamer.

JimH:
You can find MC25 and recover your license.  Here's how:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Restoring_a_License

Randy Alexander:
Thx Jim, Do I need to do the installation again? MC25 is on my new laptop, I was hoping that the service person could copy all my old files(songs) and move them over to the new laptop when he updates my iTunes. I could just see him telling me he does not understand what needs to be done.
I just want to make it as easy as possible so it gets done.
