Morphosic: Corrected win7 backup folder to roaming from local. Also put OS's in reverse chronological order

{{WebHelpHeader|Backing up the Library}}
To back up your database and settings, copy the contents of the directory indicated, depending on what OS you're using:

*Vista / Windows 7: C:\users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey
*XP/Windows 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey
*Windows 9x/Me: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\MediaMonkey\ or C:...\My Music\MediaMonkey\Data\

Note that some configuration settings that are stored to the registry will not be backed up. they are transcoded and leveled as follows:

*WMA --> WMA 128 kbps CBR
*OGG --> OGG Q4
*Other formats are encoded to the encoder defaults for the given format
*For other tracks that are in a format that isn't supported by the device, they are trancoded and leveled to MP3 128 kbps CBR

Note that any of these defaults can be overridden simply by adding a new conversion rule.
