Step 3: Move the contents of your Scratch LIVE folder

In steps 1 and 2, we moved our music library and created a _ScratchLIVE_ folder on our external drive.

Now we need to move the contents of our Scratch LIVE folder on our computer hard drive to the external drive.

1. Open finder (Mac) or Windows explorer (Win). It makes it easy if you open two instance of finder / explorer and set them side by side. (Use the Shortcut ctrl N)
2. Navigate to the ScratchLIVE folder on your computer (internal) hard drive.
3. Select and copy all of the contents. (ctrl -A, followed by ctrl -c)
4. Open the _ScratchLIVE_ folder on your external hard drive, and paste what you copied (ctrl-v)
5. It will ask if you want to replace some of the files. Choose to replace them.

Copying the entire contents of your ScratchLIVE folder ensures that:

• Your personal settings are copied, eg crate order will stay the same. (.pref files)
• Your recorded files in the Recording folder are transferred (recorded folder)
• All the music in your library shows up - not just the music in crates. (Database V2 file)
