I decided to buy an external hard drive to have a backup copy of all my music I have added to Pixplay music files.
And while I had no trouble copying my pictures to it, I am a little confused as to how to access my Pixplay music files to copy them also.

I just assumed I would go C drive, open Pixplay and open and highlight the music files I want to copy. But when I open Pixplay, there is just the titles of previous shows that I made, not any music files.

And when I find the music files folder, the only thing there is songs from itunes, not my full library of music that is stored in my Windows Media library.

Could anybody give me a little help in backing up those files? Of all the music on my computer, I just want to save the ones I use in the Pixplay slideshows.
Thanks

Hi

Unless you have enabled the option to copy files to your project folder (View > Options, Folders) then DVD PixPlay only links to the files (in their original location).

Unfortunately this means that unless you are a "techo"* there is not an easy way to back up all of the music files used in all of your projects.

Well, I am definitely not one of those, as you well know! But I did manage to finally get them copied, I just forgot to come back here and remove my question.

Thanks!
