I see, but he was answering questions with questions and then offering alternatives on top of that.

I guess I need precisely what to do in 2 or 3 stated steps before I do anything. I just don't wanna lose any file data here.

And what about all those previously edited songs I did not take notice of before (I assumed they were being copied along with the newly added files,but they weren't).

What might of happened in the past as well, is either me or my g/f, during a show, would come home and say, " I edited a few songs that needed corrections" A week or so later, perhaps, I would add some songs, copy em over, rebuild the database on the backup laptop, and assume the edited ones were all in too, now we know they(the edits) never got in there

You have edited files going back some time that there is no way to find them. Thus, the only option I see is:

1. Copy all your files to your second system.
2. Run Build Songs Database on the destination system

We'll see if there is something we can modify to make Edit Songs change the MODIFIED date.

Great, thanx.

Also, what would be the precise steps in the future.
Are these required?
1) edit songs
2)note which songs (files) were edited.
3)When backing up, copy all new files
and also those that were noted as "edited only".
4) rebuild database.


Is this the procedure for now?
