no way to move the all songs? (I have only imported files, no ripped from cd)

I loose al metadata and formating?

1) move all your songs
2) make a Symbolic Link from the old location to the new one. (note: an alias won't work)

(see the section on "expert unix freaks")

hmm...

Have I to move ALL files or can I also move only one folder?

Can I also move the folder(s) into a new folder on the nes disk?
Not:

Code: Select all

ln -s /Volumes/[DISK-B]/ /Volumes/[DISK-A]/[FOLDER-A]/

But:

Code: Select all

ln -s /Volumes/[DISK-B]/[FOLDER-B]/ /Volumes/[DISK-A]/[FOLDER-A]/

And:
If I move all files on a new Computer, how can I create this "link"?
Can I also make a User with the same Username on the new Mac and locate all files in the same path?

Thanks!
Léo

if it's a new computer, and you want drag and drop simplicity, then the HD name must be the same, and the user name must be the same. then you're good to go.
