Hey guys. I know how to move my library normally, but this time I'm doing something a bit different...
So at the moment, I have a 2TB internal drive with nothing but my MusicBee library on it. I've also got it installed to the root of that drive. I also have another 200gb of music that is on a separate drive, not in my library yet. I have about 50% of the music in my Inbox folder as well if that makes any difference, I'm slowly editing the metadata of each album, a few a day.
Anyway... so I got a brand new 4TB drive the other day. It's currently in an external enclosure, but what I would like to do is to move the entire library and the software/software settings to the 4TB drive and then take it out of the enclosure, remove the 2TB drive from inside my case, replace it with the 4TB drive and then put the 2TB drive in the enclosure.
Will I have to do anything special in this scenario? I'm assuming that it's going to involve more than just cut/paste the contents from the 2TB to the 4TB? If it helps, my setup is like this - Musicbee (E:)/Musicbee/ and that's where the software is installed. I also have a seperate folder in here for my music files (mostly FLAC hence the massive storage space taken up by music), so that goes /E/Musicbee/! My Music !/ and here I have the Inbox and Library folders. Musicbee is set up to auto-organise my library, so I put all new music in the Inbox folder and when I edit the metadata via MusicBee, I add it to my library and then it auto organises it to the Library folder.
If someone can guide me it would be much appreciated
Thank you for reading!
tl;dr I want to move my
current install and music files that are on my
2TB internal drive to my
4TB external and then switch the drives so that the 2TB is external and the 4TB is internal.
