Hello
I have to change my PC and I would like to move my entire library to the new PC, by preserving all information.
Unfortunately, the new and old pathes don't match.
Is there a safe way to do that?
Thanks

You can just copy the folder that has your MusicBee library to your new PC, then tell your new installation of MusicBee to use that when creating a new library. If the paths are different, use the "Remap" command as explained here:

Thanks a lot for all your helpful answers :)
I promise I searched both the wiki and the forum, but with the wrong keyword combination actually (although quite logical: "move library" :) ), ending up with either too many results in the forum or fewer results in the forum but none applicable (maybe it could help if the wiki entry contained the word "move"??)
Cheers
