Failed to Restore Playlist
« on: October 22, 2007, 04:09:28 pm »

Hello,
I recently changed computers. Before I got rid of my old one, I exported all of my Media Center 12 Playlists as M3U files onto a portable hard drive. I just installed Media Center 12 on my new laptop, and completed an "import playlists" action. All of the playlist names showed up under my Imported Playlists folder, but none of my songs are in them. Help!!!
Thank you,
Christine

You would need to have the media files in the same location as before.

I.e. if the filename path was C:\My Music\... on your old PC and on the new PC it is E:\My Backup Files\.... MC can't find the files during the playlist import. MC doesn't import dead file links.
