I would like to copy my lyrics data to another PC
Hello.
I manually entered lyrics into my music library of songbird with great effort until now.
I tried to copy the lyrics data to another PC (ubuntu to ubuntu), but, I found I couldn't.
Please kindly advise me how to copy the lyrics data to anther PC.
Thank you very much.

Inappropriate?The best solution will be to copy your Songbird database to your other PC; a manual how to locate it is available here: Locate.
Now just copy the folder named xxxxxxxx.default (x are any numbers) and place it on the new PC at the same location.
Run songbird -p on the new PC and select the new profile.
That's it, if you have troubles feel free to contact me.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Thank you for your advice.
I tried what you advised, though, the PC did not allow me to copy the folder because it is the system file. (Said Read-only)
I am an ubuntu beginner.
Could you give me some more advice ? -
Inappropriate?Hi hiroyuki
Sadly i'm not on an Ubuntu PC, only Windows.
Are you able to copy from the "old" PC, but not to paste it on the "new" one?
I'll ask some Ubuntu-friends about that, so stay tuned!
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Thank you very much for paying attention to my question.
On the old PC, I can copy the relevant folder, but, I cannot paste it to a USB memory device. -
Inappropriate?Sorry for my delay.
If you can't copy it to your USB device, it looks like your device doesn't work properly. Does it work when you try it with another one?
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Hello.
Thank you for your reply.
The USB device is working good.
I discussed this matter with another ubuntu expert.
It must be impossible to relocate m4a metatag data (lyrics) from a PC to another because songbird does not support it as of now.
The coming soon version will support it.
So, I decided to wait for the next verstion (Jackson 5 ?).

I guess Windows has the same problem.
Anyway, I appreciate your cooperation !
