Library

Media Center stores all information about the files you've Imported, the structure and design of your Views, and other information in its own internal database called a Library.

This concept is distinct from the locations where you store your actual media files on disk, or the media files themselves. Throughout this Wiki, and on the Interact forum, when you see a reference to your Library, we are referring to this database only, and not to your source files.

Media Center uses the Library to store many things, including:

• Entries for all of your media files (which have been imported), and all of their metadata
• The structure and design of all of your media Views including those in: Standard View's Tree, Theater View, and Media Network (including connected DLNA devices).
• Users
• Auto-Import settings are Library-specific

By default, the Library is stored at on your disk in your User Profile's Application Data directory.

• OSX:
• Windows 2000, XP, and 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\J River\Media Center <version>\Library
• Windows Vista and later: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center <version>\Library
