Hi,

I wonder if someone from the Beta team could post a simple "How to migrate from MC18 to MC19 guide" prior to the first release of MC19 to the masses (of which I am one).
It might save a lot of forum threads being posted subsequent to release.......

When MC19 is available, you should just be able to install it.  It will find and convert your old library.

[terrym@tassie]

Will the converted library be compatible with the existing MC18 installation?
Do I need to update all my client installations or are they interoperable?
Can I use MC19 as a client with an MC18 server?
Will my MC18 library backups be usable with MC19?
Will I need to run audio analysis again to use the new R128 scheme?
Will MC19 alter any of the existing tags or add any tags to my files?

No

Do I need to update all my client installations or are they interoperable?
Can I use MC19 as a client with an MC18 server?

Both server and client need to be MC19, MC18 cannot connect to MC19 or vice versa.

Also see this thread about that:

Will my MC18 library backups be usable with MC19?

Yes, MC18 backups should work with MC19, not the other way around though.
