I have a new pc.....how do I transfer my files and more importantly, my playing lists from my old computer to my new one ?

[KingSparta]

1. Floppy
2. Zip Drive
3. USB Drive
4. Firewire Drive
5. Tape BackUp
6. Exchange Hard Drives
7. RS232 Port Transfer
8. P2P
9. Yahoo Messenger

if the files are c:\my files on computer 1 they must be the same on the new computer.

copy play list info to the new computer replacing the current one on computer 2 and it should work.

You can put the old drive which contains music into your new computer. One computer with 2 drives. would this be OK?

thank you for your assistance......my problem/question relates to moving my playing lists from the media jukebox program in my old computer, to the media jukebox player in my new computer ?

Do a library backup on the old machine then copy the resulting zip file to the new machine and do library restore.  The backup and restore functions are in the "File / Library / Library Manager" menu.

If the media files are in the same place on the new machine that they were on the old machine (C:\music for instance) it should work fine.

will the backing up the library, include the playlists ?

Yep.   Playlists are part of the library.

thank you...I did that but now I have a new problem....the music is all in my external hard drive.... in my old computer this was named as "E:"......in my new computer the removable hard disc is named as "H:"....is there a simple way of changing the file location in the songs in the juke box from E to H, or alternatively, can I change the name of the external hard drive in my new computer from H to E ?

[KingSparta]

how about using find and replace in MJ

and select all files and change h:\ to g:\

[Guni]

sorry to be so stupid....where do i go to in the MJ re "find & replace" ?

[KingSparta]

that depends on what version you have

MJ8 is under select files, properties, tools

MJ9 is under select files, right click, tools

if i remember correctly.

it must be in the help file (i would think)
