I just need some advice. My external hard drive with 46,000 MP3 files just crashed yesterday (Merry Christmas to me). I am in the process of restoring from a remote CrashPlan back up (which is now on Day 2). I am restoring onto the local C: drive b/c I am not sure what I want to do or what would work best.
The drive that my MM Library was on was the F:/ I could go out and buy a 2TB drive and rename it F:/ and probably not have any issues. But by the time I filled a 2TB HD with music, it's going to break down anyway. So I am thinking about just leaving it on the C: Which begs the question, how do I use Media Monkey to find my files again w/o losing my ratings or my play counts? Play counts and ratings are very important for me not to lose so I need to make sure that those are intact. Media Monkey is of course on the same drive.
I am using windows 8.1 64Bit if it matters. Also, any feedback on using External vs. Internal HD for music storage? My internal HD is 1TB. Computer is about 6 months old. My music collection is about 270GB after diligent collecting since maybe 2008.
Thanks for your help.
