I’m in the middle of migrating my primary Plex server from a general machine, to one purpose built to run Plex exclusively. I have some music playlists I don’t want to leave behind. Is there a way to move playlists between servers? ---

Unfortunately not. You can only try to move the whole server data to the new machine. > **[Move an Install to Another System | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/)** > > It is possible to move a Plex Media Server installation from one computer/system to another in most cases. It won’t... But even this will only work if the “address” (drive letter, folder path, file name) of each media file won’t be changing on the new machine. ---
