I have my Live 7 library on my internal HD. I have my old, bloated Live 5 library on an external FW HD. How can I merge them both onto a 3rd external fw hd?

in lives preferences on mac, file menu? on pc... you can specify library location.



It in the file menu on your preferences window.... about half way down.


I think you need to just combine the two folders into one main folder btw... and live should import automatically....

I am wondering the same thing.
Any ideas on how to do this without having to go thru literally Every Single Folder and subfolder in both machine's libraries just to make sure that the files match?

I currently have three different machines with their own live libraries on each and i'd like to easily and efectively consolidate them onto one (or make all 3 identical). Either way, the only method that I know of is 'by hand' as I mentioned in the above paragraph and THAT would take months.

Id love some insight on this matter.
Thanks in advance

Late to the party, but this terminal command would at least merge everything from folder_a into folder_b without overwriting existing items, just adding any new unique items

rsync -a --ignore-existing folder_a folder_b
