enriquez Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Does anyone know how to change the location of "My Library" in SS 2.2? I could only find the My Library Edit menu, not a way to select the location of My Library. Thanks for any info, _Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichM Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Does anyone know how to change the location of "My Library" in SS 2.2?

Thanks for any info, _Scott"Tools" -> "Options..." -> "Location to store recorded files" This won't move existing files that are in the library though, new files are merely added to the new location instead of the old one.

teralens Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 My WinXP computer went in for repairs after its internal HDD crashed. The music library is on an external HDD. After retrieving the computer, I've reinstalled SS 2.2 but SS 2.2 will not see the music library on the external HDD. Short of running the SS 2.2 restore routine, is there anything which I can do to regain that music library in SS 2.2? Would it help to uninstall-install SS 2.2 with the library on the external HDD attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 No, there's nothing you can do. If the original installation of SS and the OpenMG drivers were lost, along with their DRM keys, the only way you can regain your library is to rerip / re-transcode all of the tracks from their original sources.

teralens Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Question--If I had lost my notebook CPU with SonicStage 2.2, could I get a new CPU and, after downloading SonicStage 2.2, load the existing music library from the external HDD?

dex Otaku Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 It's the same situation. The only place you can use the library is with either: 1) the installation of SS it was created with, or 2) any installation of SS, if restored from a backup created by SS on the originating machine [in which case it eradicates the library already on the machine being restored to, as well] (2) is assuming you had a SS-created backup, of course, which you don't.

teralens Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 If a person has a SS 2.2 installation with which he produced a SS 2.2 backup music library on an external HDD, can the person change or upgrade the CPU and later gain use of that SS 2.2 backup music library on an that external HDD? Thanks for the super information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 If the backup was made using SS's backup utility, yes. If the backup was made by copying the SS library from one drive to another, no. Sorry, it's just that you were ambiguous about whether it was an actual backup or not. Cheers.
