Finding File not found
« on: May 04, 2006, 05:29:42 am »

I currently have more files in my library than I actually have files on my disc, Is it possible to search the library for these so I can remove them or do I just have to scroll through the whole library looking for red crosses?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Try this search:

[=IsMissing([Filename])]=1

You can also make a smartlist of it. Be aware that it can be slow if you have a large library.


EDIT

If you have cue tracks, which have virtual filenames that end with ;1, ;2, etc you may want to exclude them from the search.

This would exclude the files that have the string .mp3; in the filename:

-[Filename (name)]=.mp3; [=IsMissing([Filename])]=1
