I have always used this method of drag n drop when moving folders. It's the easiest to use and works.
...Almost
..if the albums you are moving have cue files then the cue files themselves get lost. So if you did any tagging, ie rating or AA on them all that library only info is lost.
I was testing with the release version of MC 11. and it seems to move a directory with cue files you can.
- drag it to it's intended destination.
At this point the audio, image files etc are moved fine. But the cue files are not updated with the new location ie they still point to the old location.
- You then have to import the directory again to get the cue files back. It seems they retain any library only tags when done this way. More testing is required.
- It's imperative you *DO NOT HAVE* Fix broken links ticked or the cue tracks will be removed. I would prefer instead of have a smartlist that checks for broken links and then do the needy.
This is not an ideal way to be doing things with cue files and is a poor workaround. I might not use cue files with MC at all if this condition persists.
A drag and drop of a directory (when done within MC) should not lose items associated with it. Maybe we can bug them to death to fix this when 11.1 starts.
