Installing MM4 on new computer

[alanchitlik]

Hi there,
I have been using MM4 on a Windows 10 machine for quite a few years. And it has served me well - I literally have 100s of playlists that I have created over that time. (I'm a Wedding DJ.) I have always stored my music on a separate drive, that I've designated as the M:\ drive in Windows Explorer and given the name "Dj Music."
I have backed up my database and reinstalled MM on a new Windows 11 laptop. Usually, when I've reinstalled MM on a new machine, I can just copy and paste the .db file into the new installation and it sees everything nicely and those playlists return.
But this time, the path displays [DJ Music]\dance\name of song.mp3 instead of M:\dance\name of song.mp3. And, it's all greyed out.
So can you please share a plan where I can get MM4 installed on my new machine and have those songs linked properly. I'm happy to start from scratch.
Thanks so much,
Alan

You need to complete step 5.

Thank you so much for that link.

I used the Update Location of Files in Database 1.3 add-on and 34 seconds later, everything was connected and recognized again.

So happy!
