Thank you! The problem is solved on libraries; but recovery of personal settings and preferences is not.
Would it not be possible to make the transition from one version to another is done completely automatically?
Retrieving libraries, and also network preferences, type of reading, etc.
Does the method of copying the contents of the hidden folder home / <user> /. jriver / Media Center 20 in the neighboring Media Center 21 would be effective? ;)

The library backup contains all the settings as well (except for skins and a few other odds and ends).
Belarathon:
I see you have a Xonar Essence there. Have you been able to set it up for bit perfect playback? I have program material sampled at rates anywhere from 44.1-192Khz and do not wish to resanple.
Awesome Donkey:
Well, I do but I don't use it anymore. I really need to update those screenshots.
Bit-perfect playback should be pretty straightforward regardless of DAC or sound card when using ALSA - assuming the sample rate(s) and bit-depth(s) are supported by the sound card/DAC. I use DSP Studio's Output Format to setup the sample rates to No change so they're not being resampled.
Keep in mind I really don't recommend Pulse over ALSA... I've read output is locked to 48kHz but I've never tested this.
EDIT: Updated Screenshots.
Awesome Donkey:
Just tested MC21 in the final beta of Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and it functions fine as expected. :D
That said there's one bit of news to pass along, I've decided to stop using Ubuntu and Linux in general outside of a virtual machine due to a nasty bug in the Linux kernel's USB driver since 3.18.0 where when XHCI will give off device descriptor errors and cause USB devices to malfunction during the boot and after rebooting back into Windows and Mac - even after disabling XHCI and XHCI hand-off! The issue was supposed to be fixed in 4.0 kernel but it still persists in 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (it got really bad in 4.3-rc3 for some reason). So yeah, I'll be retiring Ubuntu off the main machine for now and just use Ubuntu virtual machines to test. I've been reporting this issue for nearly 8 months now, but not much has been done about it. I've tried different hardware (keyboard, mouse, USB DAC, motherboard, GPU, RAM, etc.) and it doesn't make a difference. It also happens in a VM too, but it doesn't mess with other OSes so it's pretty straightforward to correct.
Also going to retire the Mac portion off the main machine too and just use Windows for the foreseeable future due to multiple annoying issues trying to get the AMD graphics card to function correctly. I'll probably reinstate the Mac once I can save up and get a Nvidia card. I'll likely reinstate Ubuntu if/when they manage to fix that annoying USB issue.
EDIT: Decided to redo the Mac and Ubuntu installs and keep reporting the Linux XHCI issue.
