copy or move files to media server

Post by bobbsf »

I am new to MM. I tried to add files to the media server where MM has indexed the entire library already. It does not seem to do that. The files are shown as on the hard drive where I have downloaded them but I cannot seem to get MM to move them to the server. I cannot add them manually to the server either. ???

Hi,
It is possible to make process Automatic (If needed more on that later), but it is safer to do it manually with few clicks on all downloaded tracks.

Here are the recommended steps:
1. Scan download folder in MMW library (you have done that already)
2. Browse downloaded folder in MMW (Music and other collections)
3. Edit/Correct Tags till you are satisfied with result and what metadata is entered
4. Select Finished tracks
5. Right click -> Auto-Organize
6. Select MOVE tracks and set base path to your server eg. \\192.168.1.100\Music\ (Copy Main path from Windows explorer as it can be easier than browsing within MMW)
7. Set destination mask to your liking (results are shown in Preview window below (More info on Mask here)
8. After you click OK files will be moved and mask will be saved for later use.

Happy Monkeying!
