+#### Remove Old Configuration Files
+If you want to preserve any configuration settings you have made, you should make a note of them and then delete the configuration file.
+This is suggested because there may be new configuration options available, which will be present but disabled in the
+updated configuration filethat will be installed.
+You can then apply your previous settings to the updated configuration file.
+
+The configuration file is typically at `/etc/shairport-sync.conf` or `/usr/local/etc/shairport-sync.conf`.
