How to Move CD Player Settings from One Computer to Another

This article describes how to move user-defined Artist, Track, and Title listings in Microsoft CD Player from one computer to another.

The Artist, Track, and Title settings are stored in the Cdplayer.ini file in the Windows folder. You can transfer the settings to another computer by copying the Cdplayer.ini file to the other computer. To do so, either copy the Cdplayer.ini file from the Windows folder to a floppy disk and then copy it to the Windows folder on the other computer, or if the computers are connected to a network, use the network to copy the file from the Windows folder on one computer to the Windows folder on the other computer.

NOTE: If there is already a Cdplayer.ini file in the Windows folder on the second computer, you must rename it before you copy the file from the first computer or you will overwrite the existing file. You can merge the contents of two Cdplayer.ini files using the Copy and Paste commands in a text editor (such as Notepad).
