Description Of Issue

All I want to do is copy my Music Library to a new 2TB SSD that is installed and recognized in the Nucleus+. I have asked this similar question 10 different ways and have found no answer. This seems to be a basic issue of any new Nucleus owners. I have been a Roon user on a Windows 10 machine for 2+ years without many problems. It successfully implemented my backup. Please help.

I’m not sure I can answer your question, but I’ll start by asking a question. Where do you have your music files stored now? Also, do you have these music files backed up somewhere outside of Roon such as a USB drive?

[Jim_F]

I’ve only got these four albums and I copied them from a drive on my laptop to this internal SSD on my Nucleus using Windows 10 File Explorer.

HI Glen,

Did you review the migration instructions here.

[Glenn_Procter]

Yes, I read it and I recommend they explain the file structure of Nucleus. I had no idea I could copy files within Finder without completely screwing up something. All I saw were warnings. The migration instructions didn’t help. I have figured it out and all is well now.

[Glenn_Procter]

Thanks for the response. Your reply was more illustrious than the migration instructions.

Perhaps the specific article on the Nucleus Internal Storage, with its section on copying music to the internal drive is clearer?
