Someone who's not about to go out, try it out and report. ;) [j/k - I'll check it out soon, although if someone knows for sure, I'd love to hear it.]

Yes it does. Alex suggested earlier in this thread and I tested it. (broken links from outside MC)
keither:
Awesome!
Tunetyme - Have you had a chance to give it a try? This might fix your problem completely.
tunetyme:
I really appreciate every-one's help. I've turned off the auto update and that does help. I do back ups but I don't do it every day. I really like the feature that MC does regular backups. I've run into a series of events where what should work, doesn't. I've tried to point out that much of the negative experiences I've had are outside of MC. What I am trying to encourage JRiver to do is build in some safe guards to help prevent these things happening to others as well.
The point Matt made about doing backups is correct but what I find is that I am having to do things outside of MC which according to many of the posts is the cause of the problems. It's a catch 22 do it in MC but MC doesn't do what I want and need or I can't get it to work. Do it outside of MC and that creates the problem. If I could get the export function to work, that would help. Somewhere down the line freedb put some special characters into the database and I can't find them. I can export but I can't import. I would love to be able to export to a comma delimited flat file and have my playlists stored automatically in a M3U format. It appears the only focus right now is on the video aspects of the MC program. As they say, no response is a clear response.
Jack Wallstreet, Alex_B, and keither I would love to start a new thread about building playlists. I know that there are a number of different methods and it would be great to share ideas. Alex_B developed some type of dual window dj setup. I saw it once while I was looking for something else and now I can't find it.
Doof:

I guess the part that's confusing me, is what are you doing outside of MC that can't be done from within MC? Maybe you already said it, but I must have missed it.
keither:
To answer from my own side - there are intended actions (adding or changing files via Live Sync from a different machine) and unintended actions (files go bad, things get moved, etc.). Saying "Well you can do everything you need to do in MC" first off isn't true, and second, doesn't take into account when things go wrong, which is what Tunetyme is getting at.
