You can install it right over the existing install, your current Library will be retained.
This means that whatever is in the Library (inlcuding Playlists) will remain as-is.
As the current playlists and library appear to be corrupted I am not sure this iswhat I want. But I will make an attempt.
Let me try a different approach:
I periodically make a clone (ie total copy and bootable) of the harddrive in my laptop. I have one which was made in September of 2015; the MediaMonkey DB file is around 27MB ion this drive so I have installed it in the laptop because at that time the system was working properly..
When I insert this cloned drive into my laptop, the O/S recognizes the external HDD with the 1.2TB of data. However, Media Monkey, although it has all the playlists, cannot play them.. I think the problem is a conflict in the path information ie the drive letter in the MediaMonkeyDB does not match the assigned drive letter for the external HDD.
Can you tell me how to find out what drive letter MediaMonkey needs to reach the external files? I could go thru the alphabet, trying every possibility, but I would like to know where this information is stored. It does not seem to be in the MM.DB becasue when I hover over the playlist I get an expression of the path which does not include the drive lettee. It does give the assigned name ie "music" and the folder name but not the drive letter.
