Playlist problem

When I say library folder I'm referring to [User]>Music>JRiver on my Mac. I don't backup JRiver's ViewHeaderImage folder (called "J River") and I don't backup the "Temp" folder either because those cause my backup applications to sync constantly. Is this what you'r referring to regarding the settings files not matching? I'm a little confused as to why that would be a problem though because my backup goes from my Mac to my NAS and Cloud and I don't run my library from either of those locations—my library is located on my Mac.

Unless you changed the library (database, not media files) location, the default is in
~/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 32
That's where the database, settings, skins, etc are stored.
AudibleImagery:
I haven’t changed the library location. It’s still in the path you listed and I don’t back that up either.
AudibleImagery:
I’m at a total loss as to how to fix this and as to how to proceed. I’ve had to rebuild my playlists 3-4 times in the past two weeks and each time takes a day of work. And now it seems that my backups won’t even save the playlists reliably.

That database is critically important. A backup without it isn't a backup.
You're using some other software for backups, but MC has a backup function. Are you not using it?
AudibleImagery:
I'm using JRiver's backup function.

So if I include the database in my backups to my NAS and Cloud then will that prevent the playlists from deleting from my computer in the future?
