Use same MC Library on 2 computers
« on: April 05, 2014, 02:04:19 pm »

Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best way to achieve what I'm trying to do ? Here's my "case":

- I have 2 PC's in 2 different locations, both running MC18. Let's call the locations "A" and "B"
I rip CD's at location "A" which is connected to the Internet so I can get the metadata. Location "B" is not. I want to be able to listen to all my music at both locations. For now, I copy the media files on an external disk and copy back the files on the "B" pc. I back up the library and restore it to the "B" computer. I then use Library Tools - Find and Replace - to change the filepaths since they are different on both computers.

Is this the best way to achieve the job ? Anyone has a better way ?
Thanks !
