kma file transfer to song database

[biscuit]

Help me if u can. I have all kma files stored on external hard drive. My old laptop crashed and got a new one. I wanted to have the kma files stored on my new laptop and use them from it. When I copy the kma files to the new laptop, I try to rebuild database using the new kma file, but it does not read it. When I rebuild using the external hard drive it works. Am I missing something here.

are you pointing it to the internal drive ??

also check the size of the file where you moved your kma to the laptop.

When I open rebuild song database, I select the file on the laptop where I stored the KMA songs.

I'm confused. When you write "I try to rebuild database using the new kma file", did you mean fileS, or is only one file not showing up and all the others appearing? Please explain.

Did you import any songs directly to the internal hard drive of the new laptop, then copy the KMA files from the external drive to the internal drive? If so, you probably have DUPLICATE BookID numbers on multiple files. When the Build Songs Database command runs, if it finds duplicate BookIDs, it only uses the FIRST, and ignores all duplicates. The Merge KMA Files command is able to renumber duplicate BookIDs found.

Please answer my question above so we all have it to help you diagnose this problem.
