Can I migrate tags to a new os install?

    I have spent a huge amount of time meticulously tagging my own sample library into my Machine app, and now due to corrupted data on my hard drive I have to reinstall my operating system.

    Is there a file anywhere which contains all of my tagging data that I can backup and put back on the new OS install? If there is, could outlet my where I could find it? It will be soul destroying if I have to tag everything again :-(

    I am using OS X, if that helps.

    Huge thanks :)

    Hi Johnny Showbiz

    The tags are stored in the Preset file for Groups, Sounds, Instruments and Effects Presets, and in the audio file itself for Samples. If you copy over all of your Presets and Samples from your old OS install and then rescan your library everything should be as it was.

    Best,
    Tim

    So if I build the new install with the same file structure, everything will work fine again?

    Not just the same file structure, but using the same files. The files contain the tagging information embedded within themselves.
