Importing RB6 collection from 2 computers

Tsunoo started this chat 2 years ago

Hi,

I have Rekordbox 6 instaleld on 2 computers : one is the master and the second is used as a backup if anything goes wrong with the first PC.

My collection is the same on both PC, but the paths to the files are different : on the first (master) PC, the root folder is on drive D while on the second PC, the root folder is on drive E. Apart of this, all folders, subfolders, paths and file names are identical.

My Mixo DJ library was synced with my master PC RB6 collection. But I had a problem on this PC and had to switch on the backup PC. On this second PC, I made numerous changes in my RB6 collection, so I wanted to sync it back with Mixo. And there, Mixo imported all the tracks, because the filepaths where different (only the drive letter was different...).

My only solution was to reset Mixo and reimport my entire RB6 collection from the backup PC... This also means that when I will switch back to my master PC, I will have to do the same operation : reset Mixo and reimport my RB6 collection from the master PC.

Would it be possible to have an option to specify a "common" root folder, so that the same tracks are not reimported but linked to the local tracks ? For example, the file located in E:/Music/MyFolder/Track-01.mp3 in master collection, and located in D:/Music/MyFolder/Track-01.mp3 would be recongnized as the same physical track for Mixo library ?

Thanks
