I am lifetime Gold member of MM. Based on previous suggestions, when an upgrade for MM 4.X was made available, I think I reinstalled MM as portable, it has been a while and I am not 100% whether I installed it as portable or not.
Looks like the database files in the original location (App Data/Roaming/MediaMonkey) is the latest though I installed a a portable! This is important because I want to ensure I backup the database and ini files.
Is there a way to find out to which database my current MM is pointing to? I could not find it within MM.

Re: Validating how I installed MM
Not within MediaMonkey, but a search for mm.db on your whole PC (including hidden files) should allow you to find which is being used based on Date Modified and File Size.

Re: Validating how I installed MM
ok thanks. That is what I did. Based on which database file was updated last, looks like the one in %Appdata% is the latest. This means though I chose portable installation when I upgraded, still the database and ini files are from my Windows folder.
Is there a way to change without uninstalling and reinstalling?

In that case MediaMonkey.ini should have:
You can manually change the database location using DBName in the ini: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/kno ... ini-files/
Code: Select all

IsPortable=1

Re: Validating how I installed MM
Perfect thanks. I will do the following steps
1. Copy the mm.db from c:%appdata to the portable location
2. Edit the ini file in the portable location with Isportable=1 and also change the path for the db in the ini file.
Hope these steps will move the db to portable.
Is there anything else I need to do?

Re: Validating how I installed MM
No,
DBName works in both a regular and portable install to point to a non-standard database location.
