Jim, I purchased v. 9 license with the intention of using version 8 until the bugs are worked out of 9 as you suggested in replying to my post looking for version 7 plug-ins.
Version 9 installed fine, and it went through and "updated" my MP3 files. I purchased v. 9 from v. 9 and the license installed fine. I then uninstalled version 9 (I installed it in a different directory from the version 8 download).
When I brought up version 8 to install the license, it would not open and gave me the following message:
"You are attempting to open a database that is too new for this version of Media Jukebox. Please upgrade to the newest version of Media Jukebox."
Did version 9 change my 9000+ MP3 files so that version 8 won't recognize them? It took a while for the updating to finish, so that is my guess. If so, no problem since I have backups of the MP3's on another hard drive. Do I need to delete the "changed" MP3's and copy them back from the backup other hard drive, or is there a library entry somewhere that I can delete?
Also, I uninstalled version 8 and then installed it again with the same result. Even if the MP3's have been modified, shouldn't version 8 load up anyway?
Many thanks.
