* If you still have access to your Mixxx installation open Mixxx, go to :menuselection:`Preferences --> Library` and uncheck :guilabel:`Rescan on startup`. If you are not able to start Mixxx anymore, e.g. if you only managed to recover your settings directory, you can do this manually in the settings file: open :file:`mixxx.cfg` with a text editor, delete the line with :file:`RescanOnStartup` and save the file.
* Make a copy of both the Mixxx settings directory and your music directories. Put all in a save place. **Do not restructure your music directories!**
