Questions / Saving new DB on one PC to move to other PC
« on: September 30, 2020, 03:46:09 PM »
I'm using MusicBee to clean up a rather messy manual Music library ... tracks from CDs missing info, multiple formats, etc
In order to avoid corruption of my own Library, I created a new Library on my PC to perform the cleanup
At this stage, I haven't actually added Music - I've been adding data to the original files and converting everything to MP3 format, saved in organised folders ... merging albums that had been stored as disc1 - discN into concise, logical order
Since both PCs will have access to a shared (local) cloud, I was wondering if I should create a clean "base" folder there and then link to the media files as something along the lines of
then once the cleanup is done, simply move (or copy) the entire newMB-database folder to the other PC
I'm not overly concerned about layout mirroring, just getting the data to his PC with least fuss - and hopefully keeping Media linkage intact (so he doesn't mess it all up again)
