Title: Instructions for migrating from MJ12 to MC16?
Post by: gweadock on July 27, 2011, 01:56:34 pm

I spent about 10 min on the forums looking for a document advising how to migrate from Media Jukebox 12 to Media Center 16 but couldn't find anything. I don't want to lose the work I've already done building my library. Is there a readme someplace advising "best practices" for this migration? Many thanks and sorry if it's out there someplace and I just couldn't find it.

I don't recall what MJ12 looks like, so the directions here are likely slightly off, but should be close.

Start by making a backup of your library.  Look under the File menu and sub-menus.

Install MC16; it will launch.

Restore your library.  The location of the library file(s) will be hinted at by the Restore dialog, defaulting to MC16 paths.  Adjust to find your MJ12 library path.
