New/Old Computer, Two Versions of Hoster & One External Drive

[Roy Dennis]

The safest way to do this is to get another external hard drive and copy all your song folders to it and just use that drive for your new computer.

The Book Id's will end up the same on the new computer so your songbook won't alter.

The problem with using the same hard drive depends somewhat how old the other version is, but mainly there are more columns of data in the headers of the newer versions that the old versions can't read.
Also in the newer version there are more choices of Genre and if you set a genre in the new version that did not exist in earlier versions you get errors when rebulding the database on the earlier version.
