Title: After reloading Windows & MC - getting things back to the way they were
Post by: schwaa on December 02, 2004, 03:56:33 pm

My computer crashed :o (of course non MC related).  I had everything backed up with N. Ghost so it isn't too horrific.  However I am having a little trouble getting MC back to its original wonderful self.  What I had not done is a very current Library Backup.  However I do have all the files that were under Media Center before the crash (B.T.C.).

Is there a way to move the files from my previous installation over in such a way as to restore MC?  I'd like to get links to Album Art, database, the works, back to B.T.C.

Thanks!

Okay, someone may want to kibitz this one for me, but I think I am right here.  If I understand you, your mp3's and such are located in the same directory as before the crash.  If so, and if in MC's Tools\Options\General you selected (by checking) the option "Update tags when file info changes", then when you re-import the music, you can go to Tools\Library Tools\Update Library (from tags).  This should bring your library back to pre-crash or very close to it.

Good luck
