I'm changing my computer- Help !

[cliveknight]

Hello, I'm changing my computer within which I have MM Gold installed. I also have all of my music ripped to my c:drive on this computer. I also have a complete copy of all of those audio files on my NAS device.

How should I proceed to disable MM Gold on my existing PC and install on my new PC
I decided that I want to have MM manage all of the music on my NAS, so once I install MM Gold on my new PC, how do I point it or configure it to do this, in terms of telling it the location of all my music files, so it can pull them all together and manage acccordingly?

Thankyou

Thanks for your help, but I don't have a MM.db file. Under my username I have appdata, local, mediamonkey and then two folders- one called previews and one called virtual cd. Why do I not have a MM.db?? Any ideas?

DB is stored here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ticleid=17 You may need to enabled the viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer to see it.

How do I go about downloading media monkey to my new lap top as i don't want to have to pay again... how to get around this? I tried to use my previous download link, but it expired already!!

Thanks again lowlander. I have pointed the new download of MM to look at my NAS where all of my music is stored. It's adding the files but taking a long time. So far 2 hrs. I note that there are % signs within some of the file names of the songs, whereas others have just the name of the song.wav or name of song.flac. I guess the MM is just cycling through all of the music to determine type of file for all files. Am I right here lowlander?

[Lowlander]

Hard to tell from here. However if you see http in the paths you're scanning the NAS's media server and not the files.

Thanks lowlander, so nothing wrong with scanning the NAS right?, since this is where my music is stored and shared, I pointed the MM to the appropriate folder on the NAS. MM is playing them ok, but there are still many % symbol in the song file names. The scanning took 3 hours... probably because I did this via wireless rather than wired. When I had the MM on my other pc, I don't recall seeing any % symbols in the file names! Strange lowlander.
