Database Location

The Database Location option allows you to choose where SongKong stores our internal database. This can be useful if our system drive has limited free space or if we prefer SongKong’s data files to be stored on a different disk. If the database location is changed, the existing database will be deleted and a new empty database will be created in the selected location.

The database stores the metadata held in our music files, and changes that SongKong has made. If the database is recreated we can retrieve all the metadata from the files themselves, but the Undo Changes task can no longer be used to undo any changes made to this point.

Cache Location

The Cache Location option allows us to choose where SongKong stores its cache files. This can be useful if our system drive has limited free space or if we prefer temporary data to be stored on a different disk. If the cache location is changed, the existing cache will be deleted and a new cache will be created in the selected location. Cached data can be recreated automatically by SongKong as required.

Cache only stores downloaded releases from MusicBrainz and Discogs it is only required for optimal performance

Keep Reports For

The Keep Reports For option controls how long SongKong reports are retained before being automatically deleted. Reports can be useful for reviewing changes made during a task, but over time they can consume a significant amount of disk space. Reports older than the selected period will be automatically removed, while newer reports are retained. Select Never to keep all reports indefinitely.
