The playlists are .mbp.  It turns out the current URL is ****/Music/My Music/****.  It should only be ****/Music/****.

I figured out how to Relink path for all music.  Playlist songs cannot be found.  How do I get it to locate the playlist songs (without locating each track separately)?

I wasn't sure if the Portable MB version could be installed on the new laptop C:.

Where do I put the MB folder?  C:?

Obviously the drive letter will be different.  This requires File>Library>Relink Music File path?

Thanks to you both!!!!

Apologies for me not finding the info I am looking for about play counts.  I switched from one laptop/external drive/Portable MB to another laptop with more internal storage for my 755gb of music.  I believe I downloaded the Windows Store version.  What file is MB looking at for play count data?  I am gathering that it is the .mbl file.  The problem is that I have many .mbl files on my new laptop.  One is in C:/Music Bee.  Another is in C:/Music Bee/Library.  Another Music Bee folder was also created in C:/Music folder, so there is one in users/Music/Music Bee and another in users/Music/Music Bee/Library. 

I want to be able to get my play counts (224,000+) from my old laptop to my new laptop.  Which .mbl file do I overwrite?

If needed, should I remove MB and all related files from new laptop and start over?  And then copy the .mbl file once that is complete?

Questions / Re: Restoring Play Counts On Different Drive

Good morning.  I am trying to restore my play counts after moving my portable library to a laptop with a new SSD.  Every is good except the play counts are not updated.  On my laptop C:, there is a .mbl file in the MusicBee folder and another one in the MusicBee/Library folder.  I have updated both files from my portable library folder with no success.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help boroda.  I initially entered the formula with one extra space and it didn't work, but I figured out my error and it works!  You are awesome!!!

Questions / Play counts in Albums and track layout

« on: December 08, 2022, 02:52:42 AM »

When I choose play count in the albums and track layout, it does not show the total play count for the album.  I'm not really sure what it is showing me.  As you can see from my screenshots, this particular album has four plays when viewed as "tracks".  When viewed as "Albums and tracks", it shows one.  I'd like to actually see the play count for the album.  Can I create my own custom field for this?  If so, how?
