[SOLVED] Copying data in MMW4 database to MMW5 database

Post by technochitlin »

Longtime Gold4 user who just bought/installed MMW5. 5 transferred the majority of the info in my 4 database, but did not pick up "Last Played" and "Play Count". Is there a way to export this info from my MMW4 database and import it into MMW5?

Play History is database only. You need to use the MediaMonkey 4 database which is done automatically if you install on top.

You may want to, close MediaMonkey, remove the MM5 database and copy the MMW4 database in its location and start MediaMonkey.

...and it was. Renamed MM5.db to MM5.db.backup, copied over MM.db from the 4 folder, renamed it MM5.db- Started MMW5 and it recognized it, updated it, and, bob's yer uncle, all my info was brought over! Thanks again for the help!
