I recently had my hard drive crash and had to install a new copy of EJ. I did however manage to save a bunch of files out of the old EJ directory. Is there a way to use some of my old files to replace the ones in the new downloaded one to restore my database and album images and if so, what files do i use? Or will this simply screw up the new version because the reg codes are different?
You can get all the album images back by copying over the ejuke.asn file to the new installation. Also copy ejukebox.ini if you wish your settings to
be restored.
After you do that start eJukebox and Re-Build your database. All the album images should be restored for your mp3 files.
If you don't do this your album images will still be restored - the album images will not need to be looked up again because the image location
is stored in each mp3 file. However, the images will still need to be re-downloaded by eJukebox. If you copy ejuke.asn from an old installation and
re-build eJukebox will not need to redownload them because the images themselves are already in that file.
Thanks!
By the time i re-opened EJ and was getting ready to copy the files over, it had restored all of my images. I must say, i was very impressed and
relieved that it was so simple.
