Is there a way to copy just music library filters from one PC to another? Do I need to copy the entire musicbee directory in order to do that?

Thank you in advance.

In MB's AppData directory there is a sub-directory called "Filters" that contains your filters. I've never tried copying it to another installation of MB, but it might work.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Do the genre/keyword tags work the same way? i had marked some mp3s with specific keywords/genres, but those files didn't show up when I applied the filters on the other MB installation. I had to edit the tags and add the keywords/genres again. Is there a specific config file that holds the info? I thought the mp3 file itself would hold that information.

Thank you again in advance.
