Did you try reinstalling on other PCs? Maybe that's when Portable Install wasn't selected.

In that case you did not check the option for a portable installation during the install.

Hi,

yeah i know that, and I definitely selected portable install.
I did some more reading around and found that the db and ini files were being created in the Appdata.roaming folder. I will mess with the ini file...

The ini, DB and registry files should be in the Portable folder inside the install folder of MediaMonkey. If you did a Portable Install MediaMonkey should be looking for the files there.

Hello,

I purchased Mediamonkey Gold yesterday with the intention of using it as a portable music organizer, loaded onto the same LaCie 1TB USB harddrive as my music. I am using the latest version available for download (4.02).

I ensured to check the portable installation, and encountered no problems in setting-up and sorting my music, skins and a few plugins/scripts.
[u]I made sure that Mediamonkey was terminated before I removed the USB drive.[/u] Auto-organize is off.

The problem is, when I now move my USB drive to another PC, the work done earlier had disappeared and I was back to square-one. Even my registration details needed to be re-entered.
I've tested on 3 machines - 2 are win7 and one running XP.

I understand that the portable version stores the database and .ini files in the portable folder, so in principle the data should still be there, but it is not restoring.

I would like to:

-Possibly restore my earlier database - I am not sure how this can be done.
-Ensure future integrity of my portable installation.

It must be something I am doing wrong or not doing correctly, though I have followed the instructions. I would be very grateful for any advice offered.

Kind thanks in advance
:)

EDIT: I tried changing the drive letters so that they are all the same but still no joy.
