Files missing
« on: June 13, 2015, 03:10:59 pm »

MC20 can no longer find any of the music files, though still shows all the library thumbnails, was fine last time I played them, nothing been changed since. Rebooted three times.

Checked all files are in their usual place on the hard drive and play from there ok.

Right click on 'locate/external' and not there.

Playlist artwork replaced with no entry signs.

The drive letter may have changed.  Look for it in Explorer.

Change it back:

If you prefer to keep it as it is, you can use Rename, Move, and Copy Files in Update Database mode (with the Find & Replace template) to easily fix the drive letter in MC instead:
