Using two computers at once, shared database

Post by thecongressman »

Alright guys. I've been a loyal MediaMonkey user for years and years and years. I'm hoping someone can either help me out or point me in the direction of a wiki or something. I've searched for the answer, but I can only find bits and pieces of what I *think* may work.

Here's the deal. I now have two computers that I want to be able to use MediaMonkey at once. And not just play music, but add music, edit tracks, etc on both machines simultaneously. I've moved all my music to a network attached drive, both machines can see said drive on the network. I'm pretty sure I need to move the database to the networked drive and edit the ini to show that it's there, correct? My concern is will both machines editing at once screw things up? Or am I totally off-base here? Any help is greatly appreciated. I own a DJ company that does 300 weddings a year and I use MM to compile my playlists and manage my music before I move it to my DJ-specific program. So it's important that I don't screw anything up here.

Thanks!!

However the database isn't really designed for simultaneous access. It may work, but I can get in trouble doing multiple things at the same time on the same PC (large DB though).
