New computer, library issues

(1/2) > >>

jmrdc:
I restored MC on my new computer.  However, it points to /Volumes/music-1, which doesn't exist on the new computer.  It will only allow me to point to /Volumes/music.  I changed one file's pathway to /Volumes/music and it plays fine and acts as normal, but with over 40k songs in my library it would take me forever to retag all of them.  Any suggestions?

HaWi:
You should be able to change where the library points to in Find/Copy/Move (F6). Retagging shouldn't be necessary. I had the same issue once, when I had mounted the "music" volume twice, so the second instance got named music-1. But even if you have to change the path for 22K files it should be done in a few minutes.

jmrdc:
I guess I should have mentioned that my "music" folder is on a server that remains unchanged.  I'm going to try a workaround by naming the server's music file as "music-1" - hopefully that will work :-\

RoderickGI:
Don't do that!

Just use the "Find & Replace" function in the RM&CF function, without Directories or Filename selected, and replace all instances of "music-1" with "music".

Test with a few files. When happy select all files and run that process.

As HaWi says, that is very quick and easy.

jmrdc:
Curious as to why I shouldn't do that, Roderick? 

I actually did change the server folder to "music-1" and it's working like a beauty w/o using Find & Replace
