Play questions

[pselph2528]

I have 2 compters that i use for my shows,both are running hoster 3320, mine is XP, and my wifes is VISTA. I had some problems with the vista,until i disarmed the uac,no problems since then. I have 77,000 songs on my external hd, and 52,000 songs on my wifes external hd. What i want to do is to clone my external hd (all songs have been imported thru hoster and are kma songs)to use on my wifes computer so that we both have the same songs that way if one computer fail during a show, i would have a back up.this is where i need your expert advice. I think that all i would have to do with the clone of my external hd, is run build song data base on her computer (hoster). My concern is her playlist files. Would i have to manualy re-do her playlist files,or would hoster do that when i rebuild the song data base?She has appox. 20 playlist files with approx 300 songs in them. Any help, or advise will be greatly appreciated. Please make it as simple as possible,as i am not good with computers.

Thank You
Paul

Paul, Does your wife 52.000 kma songs were included in your 77,000 kma's in your external hard drive. If it is, then just copy (clone) your entire 77,000 KMas drive and your wife playlist will be fine.

If it is not, then you have to combine both harddrive.

Remember to rebuild your database.

i made 4 of them,

No, my wifes playlist is on her computers int drive. Her external hard drive is a clone of my external hd, but i have added 25,000 more songs to my external hd since the cloning was done. what i plan to do is to reformat her external hd, and make a clone of mine (with 77,000 songs). I think that after the cloning ,i would have to re-build song data base, in hoster on her computer, using the cloned external hd. One question i have is what effect would this have on her existing playlists?

Paul, you should be fine as long your wife kma's is also in your external hard drive. Just make sure you assign the external harddrive same as before so your wife playlist wll fine the songs. Make sure when you rebuld your wife database, the drive letter is still same as before (before you reformat her harddrive)
