Post by simpmech »

Hey guys,

the folder to look into, on BOTH machines, is "/Users/<you>/Music/..."
inside that folder should be the "kJams" folder
drag it from the old computer to the new computer, same location

Assuming your username on both machines is identical, of course.
And that your path to the tracks is fixed via the methods outlined in the tutorial.

if all your music is inside the "kJams" folder or on an external drive, then it won't matter if the user name is different :)

Since he is moving tracks from an external, I was assuming that they weren't in the kJams folder originally.

well, i guess we're making different assumptions, which indicates we don't actually have enough information. Simpmech: how you doin'? did it work?

I was assuming that just the files are on the external, partly because of his wording, and partly because running the OS off an external can be a pain the ass. So even if the kJams folder is on the external along with the files, the path to that folder as well as the files would still be wrong.
The answer to that dictates his course of action.
Without that info, we can't offer much advice (beyond covering the bases).
