Follow the steps below to transfer your program, your database and your images from the old computer to the new Mac.

1. Install Music Collector on the new Mac

• Download your latest version of Music Collector from your My CLZ account.
• Load the DMG file and install Music Collector on the new computer.
• Unlock Music Collector with your My CLZ username and password.

2. Find your database file on your old Mac

You need to copy the Music Collector database file from your old Mac to your new Mac.

• Open Music Collector
• Now right-click (or hold CTRL and left-click) on the title of your database.
• Now left-click on the “folder” right below your database name to open the folder where your *.MUCP database file resides.

• Copy the *.MUCP database file to a USB stick, or burn it to a CD, or transfer it over your Network to your new computer.

*By default, images are stored inside this *.MUCP database file.
If you’ve set the program to store the images “externally”, you have to copy your images folder to the new Mac too.

3. Place the “Music Collector” *.MUCP database file on your new Mac

• Place the *.MUCP database file in your Documents folder.
• Start Music Collector
• Click on menu “File > Open Database” and go to your “Documents” folder to open your *.MUCP database file.

That’s it, you’ve successfully moved everything to your new Mac.

4. Optional: Fix your cover images automatically

If you were using external storage for your images, use the “Tools > Maintenance > Update File Links” screen to relink your image files.
