Title: How to Copy a File to a new location
Post by: Tomd365 on November 24, 2015, 04:27:32 pm

I know this probably a newbie question but I am stumped.  How do I copy a file to another album?  I have an album that is incomplete and I have the missing song in a different album.  How do I make a copy of the missing song and add it to the incomplete album so both albums are complete?

From within MC, use the Rename, Move and Copy Files (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Rename,_Move,_and_Copy_Files), and select the Copy option in the top drop down list.

Don't use the "Copy and update database to point to new location" though, as you will lose the library record for the original file location. You will also need to update the tags for the file in the new location/album, since if the file it tagged, it will think it belongs to the original album. In fact after the copy you will have a duplicate in the old album, assuming of course that you have Auto-Import turned on, and the new file in the new location gets imported.
