Warning

In doing this you will lose all your playlists, venues and singers' playlists. It is possible to preserve your singers' names, but NOT their Tonight, Favorites or History

How To

1. Quit kJams
2. Navigate to your "kJams" folder. (mac: /Users/<you>/Music/kJams, win: C:\Users\<you>\My Music\kJams)
3. Inside that folder you'll see the "kJams Library" folder. See it?
4. Trash the "kJams Library" folder (or make a backup somewhere, alternately you can simply right click-create archive it, and put a tilde (~) in front of the archive name, THEN delete the original folder).
5. had you previously added to library picking "copy" (not "reference")?:
   1. yes: do you plan to re-add by "reference" songs from an external drive?
      1. yes: go into "kJams Music" and find "Unknown Artist" folder and throw that folder out
6. empty the trash / recycle bin
7. Run kJams
8. Any songs you've previously "ripped", "purchased", or "copied" will automatically add to the library.
9. Now "Add to Library" any other folders you need. (in the file menu)

That's it!

Do NOT throw out "kJams CDs" or "kJams Musc" or anything else you find at the same level
