You'd need to export the data from the copy and import it into the current one (deleting the data in the table before doing so). Most DB editors should be able to do this (including the CLI sqlite3 client). Just be careful to limit any operation to this specific table Obviously, make sure you have a backup of both library.db and persist.db (or just backup LMS's cache directory) 'Various SW' (https://www.nexus0.net/pub/sw/): Web Interface | Playlist Editor / Generator | Music Classification | Similar Music | Announce | EventTrigger | LMSlib2go | ...
