Title: copying between MC Libaries
Post by: hakuin on June 29, 2005, 06:25:45 pm
- I have a primary MC Libary that contains my master music collection.

-I recently created another temporary libary into which I imported additional music.

- After retagging and re-organizing the tracks in this temporary library, I would like to move/copy SOME of them into my master libary...e.g. i want to move the Acid Jazz genre folder or the Miles Davis artist folder. 

- Is there a way to do this directly from library to library, or do I have to import each and every folder manually into my main libary using "Import Media"??

Thanks,
Lee

Interesting Idea, But I Don't Think There Is A Way To Do That

Yeah....I've got 70 odd GB in my master and I want to sift through, tag....another 70GB, pulling out only the stuff that I want from it, and leaving the other stuff in the temporary library.  Guess I will have to do it manually....

Couldn't you save the selected files off as an m3u playlist, and then import the list into the master library?

hmmm....that sounds easy.  I've never imported using playlists.  when you import a playlist, does it import every  track in the playlist into the library as if you had imported the tracks themselves, or does it add the playlist itself to library?

Using the temporary library, select the files you want to move, use move/copy to move them (to one folder if you like), then switch to the other library and import them.  Use Library Tools/Rename files from properties to move the files into album or genre based folders.

Experiment with a few before you do many.
