    Multiple Library for Duet

    I have our music Library sitting on a Acer Revo and it works great. Our library sits on a designated drive within the Revo. Now the frightening part, we are visiting the states for 3 weeks and our daughter has asked if its possible for her to put her Music on there. The Revo has ample room on the drive and I am wondering if it is possible to create a partition or folder for her Music, copy what she wants in then get the Duet and Player to point to her stuff rather than ours.

    Any advice would be appreciated

    Thanks

    You could buy, install and configure Erlands Multi-Library plugin;

    If you can suffer two rescans no problem just change the Music and playlist folders to her folders and do a "clear and rescan everything" and change back when getting home and rescan again .

    Do you use any advanced plugins like trackstat or similar , those plugins have backups to so you may retain your statistic when changing back to your music .

    There are more elaborate ways :

    first copy server.prefs and the whole cache folder then change to her music.
    And copy back when home (when LMS is stopped ).

    Or Erlands multilibrary plugin .

    or just add her music too your collection permanently just remove any duplicates
