How to update to latest version

[Moloch981]

I see this has been asked before, but I wansn't able to find an answer that fully reassures an "anxious" (and not very expert) user like me.

I have ver. 3.4.8033 of MusicBee and to be honest it suits me just fine, but I see there are new versions available that probably add cool new features.
The software does not autoupdate so far, so my straightforward question is, if I download the latest zip file from here https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=36464.0 , unzip and run the .exe file, will all my library, settings, layout, preferences, playlists, stats, subscriptions etc be kept or will I have a new, clean version of MusicBee?

I'm almost sure that I didn't get my actual version from the Windows Store but I downloaded from the official site.

Thanks

yes, you will. download last 3.5 version from that topic (see link at the end of topic). put update .exe into mb folder (c:\program files (x86)\musicbee for mb installer version or any folder you have choosen for "installation" for mb portable version), run mb updater setup, delete this setup .exe after updating.

but this is not the very latest version yet. to get the very latest version download this patch, and unzip its content to mb folder overwriting all files (after you have installed the update mentioned above).
