Warning

In doing this you will lose all your playlists, venues and singers. In Late Beta there will be a feature that does this without you loosing your lists.

First

If you've been a kJams a use since before d46, take note: If you edited meta data using a version of kJams PRIOR to d46, and you haven't edited them since, then those songs should have their meta data "pushed" BEFORE proceeding.

How To

  1. Quit kJams
  2. Navigate to your "kJams" folder. (/Users/<you>/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. Run kJams
  6. Any songs you've previously ripped or purchased will automatically add to the library.
  7. Now "Add to Library" any other folders you need.

That's it!

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