You should find that Qobuz then moves the tracks now held in C to D. Then change the path to D in the import path shown in " Music Downloads" in your account. I suggest that you import a few tracks via the existing default C.drive path. The latter may be your best option especially as you may want the result to appear on your D. Qobuz offers two different ways of downloading, to the app or to your selected hard drive. Nevertheless it is probably worthwhile renewing the drives every few years.

Of course if you are just using it for backups it should last longer as it will not be subject to heavy use. The average life of a hard drive made for domestic use is about two years. So he lost years of rips and needledrops plus all of his wedding and holiday photos, pics of the kids growing up etc. BTW another friend was burgled last year and the thief took his computers and all of his hard drives containing his backups. That is security against burglary and fire.

I also keep a copy of my music library off site ( my friend keeps it at his place) and I update this every few weeks. Do not make a single backup or one day your computer drive may fail, you try to replace the lost information with your single hard drive backup only to find that it has been corrupted - that has happened to me and I expect to thousands of others. Use the Boot Menu to access the Restore utility.

You would do well to use the PC Restore utility to restore your disk to factory settings, as long as you did not delete the Recovery Partition. Just copy and paste from your computer to the external drive. New disks are imaged, not installed and you may cause problems by reinstalling as you did in the old days of Windows. All of the external hard drives are from different manufacturers to minimise batch errors. In fact all of my downloads are immediately copied to an external master hard drive containing my music library, two backups and to my NAS. Once purchased it is yours and you can make copies ( subject to copyright law of course). When you buy from Qobuz it is similar to buying from any download vendor. In my mind, that means you are not purchasing anything because we all know a computer last maybe 7 years. I hear you cant purchase files and use them on multiple devices.

I still cant seem to either find the way to play imported files or how to get Qobuz to use a file in my D drive.Īnyhow, if I start purchasing music, where do I store it and what happens if I toss my existing server and get a new one. I went into the MS operating system and gave read write to everything including the Music Lovers. When I go into the Browse in the Music import path and try and pick a file it says The directory is not usable.

When I go into the Music Downloads in Qobuz and look the Music Import Path I see D:\Import\. I imported a song and it appears to have a file under D drive. This allowed me to create a new path to my D drive. I then followed the path in my windows file system and deleted the import file from my computer. I tried to redirect in there but it would say it may experience issues and would not change. In there it showed the path to the C drive import folder. I tried going into the Music download folder found when I drop down from my login name in the top right of the Qobuz App screen. I do not want the offline library on my C drive which is the operating system drive.
