Thanks. You're totally right, and I knew that. I'm starting from scratch though.
I had a big hiatus from organising my music and I think all I really need is the tags/metadata in the files which should be fine.
I've got an old MM.db so I should be OK.
What you said needed saying though so I appreciate it and any other people who don't realise what you said should take note.

Also, if I do manage to uninstall MM4, which folders/files can I delete to get rid of all lingering MM4 remnants without affecting the clean install of MM5. I haven't imported any audio/video files into MM5 yet.
After you're finished importing your database and setting to MM5, and everything works, if you do want to clear out your MM4 database/settings you can go to:
%appdata%/MediaMonkey
MediaMonkey 5 uses a different folder for its database and settings (%appdata%/MediaMonkey5).
But just to be safe, I'd recommend zipping it up into a backup folder before deleting the contents of that folder. Better to be cautious when dealing with your database, especially if you've been using MediaMonkey since 2007 (as I see that's when you joined the forum)
