Hi,
I bought a Maxtor 250 gig USB 2.0/Firewire drive for easy backup solution. I need to know for two scenarios what files in MC-9 need backed up:
1) If I don't have any playlists or customization yet, only ripped files. At this point I just want to make sure all the tag info is present. Is it safe to delete MC after moving all my APE files ripped by MC to the Maxtor Drive and then delete everything from the main hard drive? I need to formate the drive and do a fresh install. I've made too many changes and new hardware and want to start fresh but absolutely don;t want to lose the tagged info. At this point, all of my effort has been strictly in tagging and ripping. I would also like to upgrade to version 10 beta when I reload software.
2) In the near future once I have my music ripped and want to save playlists and other customizations, what other files besides the ripped ape files do I need to save?
I'm afraid to lose all my hard work in tagging!
3) Another question: Say you rip a CD and it creates a filename based on the rules you select for naimg the files [genre] [artist] etc... Well, if you have several CD's with "Various" and you later change the tag info to fill in the specific TAG info, is there any way to update the filename without having to rename all the files? I find that viewing the full detail in the filename under windows explorer is as critical as the tag info itself... Any insight on this matter?
Thanks,
Chris
