« on: March 12, 2019, 01:24:24 PM »

Hello!

Auto-organize is swithced on for my library.

I have to questions:
1. Do i need to create a rule where the library links to itself?
If I don't, would my library be updated automatically once changes are made?

2. Do i need to manually press Reorganize button each time I make any changes to the library?

Thank you !

Questions / How do I? Copy part of my library to laptop for holiday listening?

« on: March 12, 2019, 12:59:43 PM »

Hello!

My core Library is stored on NAS and being auto-organized. MusicBee desktop is located on my laptop and linked to the NAS location.

1.When I travel, I want to copy some Albums from core NAS library to my laptop.
2.During my vacation, I may add some new music to the laptop.
3.Once I am back, I want to sync changes to my core library on NAS.

What is the best way to handle this?

I can live without  point 2 and 3, if it is too complicated to arrange.

Then, what is the best way to copy part of the library to laptop?

What comes to my mind:
1. Copy Albums / Playlists usind Copy To command. Copy it to my Music folder on laptop (the folder structure will mirror my core library on NAS as it is being auto-organized)
2. Created new [Laptop] library in MusicBee and link it to the same Music folder on laptop
3. Link Moitored Folder to the same Music folder on laptop and set 'new file action' to 'add to library' so new files are automatically added to Laptop library

Does that make sense?

Thank you!
