Hi
I had kjams installed on my macbook pro...great. It was populated from an external hard drive, only selecting approx 1000 songs which I had imported and re-named from a HD containing 7000 titles in many many folders. So kjams only selects these 1000 songs each time it opens. Works brilliantly. Hope this is making sense so far.
However, I have a new mac book pro and when I installed kjams and connected the HD, it can't find the playlist and therefore asks me to find it. I select the HD but it just selects ALL the songs from one folder with old names, songs I hadn't selected etc! I still have the old mac with the good kjams, my question is
Is there something I can do e.g. save etc that will enable kjams on my new machine to select exactly the same songs in the right format, with the right names etc?
Apologies if I sound stupid, I probably am but would really appreciate some help.
Thanks
Bob
Big Problem!
Re: Big Problem!
i think i understand. first you're using the word "select" in a couple different contexts which aren't actually "selections". you had originally "add to library"-d about 1000 songs. then when you run kJams, kjams only shows you the 1000 songs that it has in it's "index" or "database".
q: what do you mean "it can't find the playlist"? what exactly is happening? do you mean that, when you run, the library is empty? and "it asks me to find it", what do you mean by that? is kJams actually asking you something? or are you deciding to "add to library" ?
when you do "add to library", you do actually "select" a folder to import. kjams will import everything in that folder, including all subfolders. that's how it works.
if you're rebuilding your library from scratch, then if you want to only import the 1000 songs you had originally imported, then you should "select" only the songs you want. that part is really up to you to get right, there's no way for kJams to guess which songs you mean.
if you want the new kJams to use the same database as the old kJams, then you have to drag the "kJams Library" folder from the old computer to the new computer. then when you run, it will show the same 1000 songs that the old computer shows.
