I’m trying to move my full history from my ssd in my sc6000 back to engine desktop to one playlist. History is 3k songs and when transferred only 1,500 songs show up. Chatgpt says I need to move the ssd to my (ethernet linked when playing) second sc6000 to be able to transfer the other half, is that true?
I tried connecting both players via usb individually with no Ethernet link but only the main ssd player will show. ChatGPT keeps saying the other half of the history is stored on the 2nd player the one without the ssd
In short, I have no idea ■■■ ChatGPT is saying and you’re only sharing part of the picture. Like do you have storage devices installed on both systems? Also, how do you store your music? Is it inside of your computer or an external volume?
This summer, I wrote a tool to merge history information in the databases and am pretty familiar with how this stuff works.
When you open up Engine and connect “performance” storage devices, Engine runs an internal job called an aggregation. From the history perspective, the aggregation job will review the history databases on the performance drive and compare what is currently stored on the desktop’s history database and copy those records over.
After the aggregation job is done, you should be able to select history playlists within Engine and export them as true performance playlists. From here, they will get transferred from the History Database (hm.db) to your Desktop’s Main database (m.db).
You should be able to sync any of those exported performance playlists using Engine back to any performance volume. Assuming the music is available to Engine Desktop and the file names characters are compatible with your performance volume’s file system, all of the song files that are associated with the playlists should get copied to your target performance volume.
i am not sure if there is a way to mass migrate your history in one go but you can import as playlist from your history the only issue there is each import is its own playlist so you would then need to move each playlist manually to one folder which is likely to be very time consuming I am not sure if smart playlists can help with this maybe its worth raising as a feature request?
