Awesome - thanks for doing that!
I'm going to give this a go as I've got a couple of spare hard drives from old PC's and it'll mean I can have my Trance stuff on one and my Pop/To 40 stuff on another and keep them completely separate.
Karma on it's way for your efforts!

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has used mixvibes on two machines using dropbox to store the analysis files? I have the same issue as the thread starter but would prefer to let the cloud do the work instead of a hard drive.
Thanks

Thanks. It would be in a folder on my laptop, so I wouldn't be relying on an internet connection all the time, just for syncing the folder after changes. Would that still be an issue? I assume not as it's a folder just like the default one.
I wouldn't ever be using it on two machines at the same time.

I have a main workstation laptop and a gigging laptop and use Synkron (freeware) to sync mp3 files between the two, also copying the main database from the gig laptop in order to have all the necessary changes in playlists, song history etc. Works quite alright for me.

That's good to hear. Are the collections exactly the same on both machines? My setup is currently two different collections with a large proportion being the same tracks. I would be willing to make them identical though, if it meant I could jump between the two machines seamlessly.

Thanks Ronald, I'll use those tips as a bible if I give it a go!

Yes, identical. Any changes in a file (edited ID tags, play count etc) will mean tracks will be replaced with 'newer' versions from my gig laptop which might take time if I haven't synchronized in a while. A very small nuisance though.
