I don't know what I did last night but when I started Musicbee this morning, all of my music, stats, playlists etc weree gone... It is like a fresh install of musicbee.

I still have the folders that contain all of my music... how can I get my library back so that all of my playlists and stats appear too?

perhaps you are logged in as a different user for some reason?
search the computer for the file: MusicBeeLibrary.mbl
thats the library database. You probably have 2 on your machine now
there should be a Playlists sub-folder for each library instance, one of which will have your old playlists

Thanks for the reply. What do I do once I've found that file?

I got it. I had to go to File>New>New Library> then click the radio button (or choose an existing library that no longer appears in the selection list).

I have no idea how this got switched... also, the columns I had set up are now back to default (date added, play count, etc). Strange.

Thanks for your help!

Also, the play counts seem to be missing from the past day (before this happened)
