Title: Must Import mp3's Everytime? Help...
Post by: sell2survive on November 01, 2007, 02:54:41 pm
Hello, After losing my external HD with all my tunes I had to refer to my back-up HD.  Now everytime I open MC12 I have import the files again.  I have tried saving the library after importing and then also did the restoring, but nothing has worked.

So every time I open MC12 I re-import all mp3 files.  I know this has to be an easy fix, any ideas?

Thanks...s2s

Go to File --> Library --> Library Manager.  Then, in the dialog that appears, what shows up under Location for the library with the Arrow next to it?

It's probably that either:

a) Your library was on the drive that died, and now doesn't exist...

b) Your library is read-only in some way, so your changes aren't being saved.

To be clear, the term "Library" in MC's lexicon means the Database where the information about your media is saved, NOT the media files themselves.
