BACKUP
soothsayer:
Unfortunately my pc has hardware issues and I need a new build. While it's still running, are there any good tutorials on how to backup JRiver MC12. I'd hate to lose anything! ?

Try to store as much in the tags as you can. Then make sure you have a big hard drive or two to keep duplicates of your entire MC library on. Just backup the media files--wherever you store them--and your MC database (library) files.

I forgot to say that all my music is on external drives (7 250G and 1 500G). I just want to make sure I don't lose anything that's with the app.

1. Backup the library to one of your external drives. (Library/Library backup - specify the drive and folder in the dialog that comes up.)
2. Make a copy of the application data folder for MC 12. (For my PC that is c:\Documents and Settings\HP Administrator\Application Data\J River\Media Center 12\. In place of HP_Administrator, use yoiur login user name.)
3. Export the registry settings for MC 12 using regedit. (Start/Run/regedit.) The info i know about is in
My Computer\HKey_Current_User\Software\JRiver\Media Center 12. Be quite careful when you are using Regedit.
There may be other places where info is stored. Perhaps someone from JRiver could comment.
I'd also browse the Tools/Options dialog and make a list of options you have changed from the default. When I move to a new PC, remembering those option values is always tough.
When you connect the external drives to your new PC, drive letters may be assigned differently. You should be able to tell Windows what drive letter to use and to make it permanent. Do that before you fire up MC 12 on the new PC.
