I've had to reimport my whole library. in theaterview under recently imported, never watched.  none of them are correct due to reimporting my whole library.. Is there anyway to get the recently imported back by date that imported them onto system, not into jriver?

Thanks for any help

With alot of files, not having recently imported, never watched working after re-import makes it tough.

to keep old data, you need to import them, export mpl from old db and import them into the new..

you can export to mpl via export playlist

nope

it will break your thumbnails though, so you have to rebuild them...also please test first with a reduced number of files..

when you do stuff like this, you need patience and reconcile afterwards, it's quite much like accounting

note: [date imported] may need the mpl imported twice
note2: all the data in the mpl file will force to overwrite the old, so if you have changed anything in the new database it will revert to the old..if that is the case you can change the fields in the mpl file from for example artist to artistx then this field will not get imported/overwritten
