Re: Need to set up New Laptop PRONTO
First of all if your kma files are on your old computer you need to copy them to your new computer to follow the same path as they were on the old computer, probably C:\MTU\kma.
If they are on an external drive ensure that when you plug the external in it recognises it with the same volume letter that you used on the old computer.
As there has been so many changes to the Databases and other new things added since 3.321 I don't know for sure what will be best but I'll suggest an idea that may work.
On your old computer open you existing C/MTU folder and copy the Hoster folder to a removable media such as usb stick.
Now open Hoster on your new computer, from the tools menu select "Hoster data Folder" now close Hoster but leave the folder open, go up one in the folder tree and you should be in the mtu.com folder and see a folder there named "Hoster", rename that folder to something like "Hosterbkup" this is just in case things don't work out and you have to return it to it's original state.
Now paste your copy of Hoster from your old computer into the mtu.com folder you have open.
Close the folder, now start Hoster and it should recognise the Hoster folder as an old version and automatically update it.
If it doesn't then go back and delete the Hoster folder you pasted in an rename the original back to Hoster.
If it didn't work then I should just open the Tools/Songs Database/Choose build database select either Add Folder or Add folder/subfolders brows to the C:\MTU folder or wherever you placed your music files and add the folders to the list, it will rebuild each folder into the database as it finds them.
