Is there a link/page where the procedure of installing a new version is described? Since it has been over three years since I installed and set up MC24 I've forgotten how do do things. One thing I know is that somewhere down the road I am going to be forced to upgrade when I take the plunge and buy a new PC and/or move from Windows 10 to 11, since MC24 is not going to be compatible with the new OS. I am going to use this upgrade as an opportunity to modify and simplify my music folder organization, do some file format conversion in dBpoweramp and other modifications to my current setup, etc so my library and playback options will be more streamlined. Still it would be good to know what settings are maintained from my older version and what custom configurations I'm going to need to reset from scratch. I don't suppose JRiver is ever going to be upgraded to integrate with streaming services like Qobuz or Tidal, which is the one persuasive upgrade I would likely feel compelled to pay for. MC24 has been performing well with no bugs for all my purposes for three+ years, so why would I want to fix what ain't broke, besides the worthy cause of supporting JRiver, an excellent program that I use for over 90% of my PC-based digital music listening (I have the old Audirvana which I just use for streaming Qobuz but all my local library is catalogued and played with MC24). I spent so many hours tweaking everything to my liking when I first got MC24 back in 2018, so that playback is optimally configured to work with my two hardware DACs depending on the file formats etc, it seems like it might be a needless chore to upgrade, given there are probably a lot of new features I don't even care about using. I think that the library views and playlists are copied from the old to the new, yes? What about under-the-hood settings like in audio tools: device settings, different zones and zone switch rules, etc? Column views? Custom keywords? Will my play history be completely deleted so I'm starting from zero plays on all files with the new version? I imagine there are a lot of other things I would like to keep from the old version and I can't even think of them all right now. Perhaps you can tell me what settings are saved from my current version and what ones I am going to have to manually configure. I always seem to shrink from the task for fear of how much I am going to have to configure things from scratch. Once again I am debating with myself whether to upgrade to the latest version from my much older MC24 version.
