Transfer DB between computers

I use MM 3.1 and have subscribed to about a dozen podcasts with new files arriving daily for some and infrequently for others. My total mp3 collection is about 70 GB.

I want to transfer my complete database and mp3 collection to another computer, and retain the correct status of podcast subscriptions so that files continue to be downloaded properly. Moving the files themselves is trivial. What I don't understand is what I have to do to the MM database to continue the podcasts.

What's the best way to move a working MM configuration to a new computer?

Thank you; that looks like it will take care of the DB nicely.

I just realized I also have to replicate scripts and other customizations I have made to MM. Do you have any suggestions about the best way to approach that?

EDIT: Looks like copying the Media Monkey INI file and the complete scripts directory and subdirectory does what I need. Anything else I should think about?

Nope, I think that just about covers it!
