Show files missing from library?
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:22:09 pm »
I recently had a hard drive crash and lost all of my music. I wanted to know if anyone new a way of creating a smartlist that showed what files are currently missing from the library so that I can track what I need to update as I rebuild.

Here's one I use for Audio.

[Media Type]=[Audio] [=IsMissing([Filename])]=1

You can remove the Media Type portion of you want other files.

Create a smartlist, and edit, select Import/Export.  Paste the expression above.

You're welcome.  And Welcome.

I should note, someone else shared this some time ago.  I don't recall who, probably Marko.

Sorry to hear of your disk crash - hope you're able to restore.  Best of luck.
