In other words... can you have more than one source (Folder) in the Song Source Folders Box??? If you can have two, and the external hard drive is already recognised, then do I just highlight the internal folder and then hit the Rebuild Songs Database button? I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

The confusion is how do you install a 2nd hard drive "Internally" in a Laptop???
I have never seen a laptop that had space for an additional drive.
You cannot have both locations listed if you have exactly the same KMA files in both. If you Rebuild with both locations listed every song you have will come up as duplicates.
Remove the External drive (G
from the list and then rebuild just on the internal (F
. Keep the External for a back-up copy. If you have to use the back-up you will need to rebuild again with just that drive in the list.
You can have multiple souce locations, but not with duplicate files. If you have some files in location "A" and different files in location "B" then you can list both and rebuild or add to combine the two locations in the database. Many have some files located on their C: drive and additional files on another drive and do this. I have my Audio songs in a different folder from my karaoke files. When I rebuild I have both locations listed so all are in the database for use.
