I have way too many little issues with my Ejukebox. I'd like to wipe the computer and start over with a fresh install. Whats gonna be the easiest method for doing this so I can save the stats like Top played songs and Top Artists. Are there specific files I can save that hold this info? My plan was to upload all songs to an external HD, save the ejukebox stats somehow, wipe the computer, reinstall Ejukebox with the latest version, put back the songs, and possibly overwrite the stats with the old ones.

drewster98, if your files are mp3s all the eJukebox stats are saved in the ID3 Tags. So in this case no problem, no need to restore any specific file. All the stats will be restored from the ID3 Tags when you will build your new database.

Otherwise for non-mp3 files, I don't know if eJukebox save its stats in the tags of other file formats?
You could backup the database files ejuke.asn and db.m3u then put them over the fresh install, BUT to do that you will need to replace all your music files in the exact same location (same path) than before.
