Updating files location in multiple playlists.
Hello.
I have approximately 100 playlist. I moved the mp3's to another drive, and now I need to update the playlists accordingly. Is there an efficient way do to it? Are there programs for this task? Thanks! |

if you simply moved from drive C:\ to D:\ then thats very simple. If its more complicated, like not all the files went into teh same directory(like if you were completely restructuring you music files...then thats difficult...impossible almost.
open a playlist in notepad. notepad has a find/replace tool that you can use to change the path C:\mp3\ becomes D:\music\ or whatever. but considering you have 100 playlists...all i have to say is, Im sorry. right now there is no way for easy fix. |

See this thread, "changing the playlists location"
Also maybe check out the following plug-ins... WANQer M3U Playlist Checker Note: I have not used the plug-ins, so I can't give you a review. As additional info see this thread, "Auto - Update Filepath" [edit]Grrr, too late  [/edit]
