It's always a good idea to back up your library before making big changes, but MC13 will co-exist peacefully with MC12 and even with MC11.1.201.

If MC13 finds an MC12 library, it can import it.

MC12 and MC13 libraries are a different format, so servers from one won't work with the other.

Both programs could import and use the same files, but not at the same time.

I have lots of customizations on views that I would like to keep... will it be imported into MC13?

Good question. I installed and it got my library with ratings, playlists etc, what about podcasts? Any way to import them all?

[JimH]

Search in Explorer for podcast.xml.  Mine is here:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\J River\Media Center 12\Library

But it could be elsewhere.  Location is set in options for Podcasts.

I'll find it, but what do I do then? Just run Import?

[JimH]

You can try moving it to the new location.  You can set that location in the options.

Installed with 12.1 - 3 questions
1 - backup playlists in 13 - where are they?  will the following work for 13 by changing 12 to 13?
To backup playlists
MC12.exe /MCC 20004, 0
and 20011 to force library backup
Will the above work by changing 12 to 13.

2 - can I uninstall 12.1 and 13 continue to function? 

3 - Every time I update 12.1 do I need to update 13 as long as I continue to run both?

[JimH]

1.  When you install MC13, it can find and convert an MC12 library.  It can also restore an MC12 library.

2.  Yes.

3.  No.
