Can I transfer all my "My Media" data to a new computer?

Post by StarkJWS »

Hello,

I love the My Media product! and use it all the time...

Unfortunately I recently had to rebuild my computer and was wondering if there was a recommended way to move/transfer all of the "My Media" data from one system to another without having to re-scan my music library, re-import the playlists etc... I also have a lot of Overrides set up as well. Please help!

THANKS
My Media Fan

We don't support this as it's easy to cause conflicts this way, but if you really want to try this, then do the following:

1. Uninstall My Media on the first computer
2. Take a copy of the following directory:
c:\Program Files\MyMediaForAlexa (windows)
~/.MyMediaForAlexa (mac/linux)
3. Restore the directory above in the same location on the new computer
4. Reinstall My Media on the new computer.

Please don't restart / reinstall the My Media server on the first computer as otherwise both will report in using the same Media Server unique identifier which will cause a load of confusion!
