How to Transfer Collection to New Computer

 I got a new computer.

Want to move Rekordbox collection from old laptop to new computer.

 

I did a full backup with music files.

On new computer I did Restore Library.  Was not sure which file to point to for the restore, but I clicked on one called datafile.edb and now I can see my collection on the new computer in Rekordbox 5.0.2.

 

However, my artwork and waveform previews are not there.  Just the track tag info and cue points.

Do I need to re-analyze the whole collection to get the waveform previews back?

What about the artwork?  My files are all AIFF and the artwork is supposed to be embedded in the file.

Pulse

Did you not do File > Library > Backup Library (on old computer), File > Library > Restore Library (on new computer)? All data should be transferred.

I'm not sure why you clicked on a "datafile.edb" instead of a zip file...
