Harddrive Crashed - How to copy data from old to new hard drive...

Good Day,

Mac OSx

I'm on the road now so I don't have all my backup with me. My Harddrive crashed (something I really didn't expect but will be more ready next time).

I am able to access the data can I just copy the files from my user Library to a new installation of Rekordbox?

Thanks

yes, if you can access the data on the Macs internal drive you would need to copy ALL the music from old to new drive and try and keep the location the same and also you need the info in the Pioneer folder 

once you boot up the new drive, name the computer the exact name so the path stays the same for waveform and cue data, this is the easiest way to make sure it all comes over right

install Rb on new mac, open it so it creates the needed ~/Library/pioneer folder

go on the old drive (you need to show hidden files, google how to do on mac, easy terminal command) and look for: users/username/Library/pioneer

copy the pioneer folder and overwrite the new existing one so all the data copies over to the new drive
