I've tried searching for this but am overlooking the answer if it's out there. It's also possible the answer is obvious and I'm just getting old and can't figure it out.

I have my library files stored on a WHS and mainly listen to my music from my desktop. I also have a laptop and a HTPC which access the library. A month or so ago my desktop needed sent away for service so I began using my laptop as my main way of listening to music. I now have replaced my desktop with a new computer and cannot figure out how the best way to get MC15 linked back to the same library with the play counts and dates all present. Is there a best way to do this? I see my library data is located in the default directory on my laptop. How can I get this over to my desktop and use it as the base location for the library?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

MC's database (library) and the media files should be moved as a set.

Thanks for the prompt reply Jim.

My actual media files will not be changing location. They are staying on my WHS. So I will not be moving any files. I would just like to access the library as is using MC15 on my new computer with all play stats and dates intact. I want to be able to get the base location of MC's database from my laptop to my new desktop. Not the media files. They will stay put.

OK it appears I got it to work simply by copying the \users\...\Media Center 15\Library folder from my laptop to my new desktop.

Hopefully this is all I need.

Thanks for your help!
