Assume MJ8. A lot of this discussion of importing songs to multiple machines assumes that all the tagging info that I want is in the mp3 files. Mine isn't. So I'm leaning toward Callithump's solution (Party Mode on clients) or Media Server.
Callithumper (don't be offended; they've been calling me Scrooch) - this has been discussed over and over, but I want to hear it again. I'm going to be moving my database in a few weeks. What's the best way to "edit" the changed path info into my existing MJ8 database?
Also, my situation might be just slightly different than your's--PC #1 (currently with the database) will remain the one "in control" of changes, i.e. not Party Mode. But the database will soon be physically moved onto a disk on PC #2, which will physically have the files, but will be in Party Mode. So the network host will be in Party Mode, and the network client will have database modification authority (no Party Mode). This won't matter, right, because the network mapping is below all of the application stuff?
John, convince me that Media Server is the way to go. I know nothing about it.
Thanks.
