Re: Restore Previous Music Database
Got it all working. Having moved both movies and music, I had forgotten to change the file path in the music app settings. Once I took care of that, it all together. From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Restore Previous Music Database
Hello, What is the method for restoring a music database from the Previous folder? There are 3 of them and I think the newest one is what I want to use to replace the current file. Thanks.
