I'm sorry about the title, I wasn't sure how else to phrase it.
I keep all my music on a portable drive (and yes I keep it backed up elsewhere
, so don't worry!). Sometimes I may not have the drive connected, but I may use Media Jukebox to playback certain audio files not relating to my music collection. Preferably, I'd like to have auto-import on. I also like it to remove from the library files I delete, because I do sometimes delete music files.
So; drive is connected, auto-import runs, updates, everything is good.
But when I disconnect my drive, then run MJ, what happens internally? Does it remove all files from the audio library? What about ratings etc. that are stored in the library only, not in the files? What happens if I let MJ complete auto-import, close it, reconnect my drive, and run MU again?
I'd like to know more about this process. I'm hoping that MJ might .. well .. maybe if if finds files and subdirectories missing, it adjusts, but if it actually can't find the directory/s added to auto-import from, it assumes it's disconnected unless told otherwise, and doesn't automatically edit library information to do with that directory.
