Got real lucky, had the same thing happen to me, all of them gone. I do however have two outboard hard drives that I store all my kma files on.

Got up today to set the monitor window for doing a show on my new HP laptop with vista and 3.319 guess what all kma files gone. Went to MTU seen the sticky for the 3.320 upgrade. It is on and kma files reloaded. Viola all is well. TO ALL BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP. That extra hard drive is not that expensive, I do remember loading all my discs and converting to kma, around 14hrs a day for two weeks. Glad I did my backup.

Yup, glad I had mine backed up, even though it turned out to be only a partial backup - pre fix for Jan 28 release. I am about 3-4 hours or so short of having reloaded everything. Excited to see the end of that long, horrible CDG ripping exercise FOR THE SECOND TIME. As soon as everything is re-loaded, I will back up again on the WD 500GB drive.

Wish I could get over the concern that when I turn my computer on the songs will be gone! Tincture of time is the prescription here I guess.

i like to have a ghost back up of my hard drive. this way if the drive ever fails, im not out any time other than the time to replace the hard drive with the cloned one.

No offense to anyone here, but Karen back up at the end of each session or day. You can never be too careful.

True enough - I guess the time spent waiting for the backup is worth it. I am feeling a little paranoid about this whole thing already...not a good feeling...tincture of time...tincture of time....
