How can I copy the data from the music data base on my desktop
to the music data base on my laptop?
There are two ways you can copy your music database...
- Copy the entire music folder to the other computer,
assuming the other computer has the same folder structure.

Or...
-
- On the source computer, Run CSDS;
- Select 'Music | Edit Music Database';
- Select 'Tools | Export';
- Save the file and copy it to the destination computer;
- Copy your music files, cue sheets, and lyrics to the
destination computer, preferably in the exact same
folder structure.
- If you've added new genre flags, you should also
copy file c:\sqdata\music\flags.dat to the same
location on the destination computer.
- On the destination computer, run CSDS;
- Select 'Music | Edit Music Database';
- Select 'Tools | Import' and enter the file created
on the source computer.
In general, if you switch between using CSDS on two different
computers, you should designate one computer as the
primary computer (perhaps your laptop), and one computer
as a secondary computer. Make all your changes on the primary computer, then copy them (as backup) to the other computer.
