Hi Brandon The music library is the easiest part to duplicate. Are the computer or host names the same or are they different? If the are different you will need to go into rdadmin on your original machine and create the new host name. Now once that is done you back up the database in rdadmin. This backs up the MySQL database. Now copy the audio from /var/snd over to the new machine to the same directory. You'll have to check the permissions on the audio. Then you log into rdadmin on the new machine and restore the database. All your music should be in the new rdlibrary with all the relevant markers etc. I'm not sure exactly what aspects of your old system that you don't want but I'm assuming its clocks and grids etc. If that is it you may might want to make a new service in rdadmin. Don't put spaces in the service name. It can be a problem later. Duplicating the library will keep the play count numbers. They won't be zeroed. Let us know how you go.
