I just bought a new computer. I backed-up up my j river library on to a portable hard drive using the library backup feature in J river 18. I restored my library backup to my new computer with J River but WHENEVER I TRY TO PLAY AN AUDIO FILE I GET THE MESSAGE "FILE COULD NOT BE FOUND. CHECK THE FILE NAME IN YOUR LIBRARY MATCHES THE FILES NAME ON DISC" Seems like this should be a very basic backup and restore process.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION HERE? How do I get my backed up files to successfully restore to J River?

Maybe the files are at a different spot after the migration? If so, use Find & Replace in the rename tool.

THE RESTORE SAVES THE PATH NAMES. SO EITHER USE THE TOOL AS MATT SUGGESTS OR CHANGE THE DRIVE LETTER/PATH ON YOUR NEW PC TO BE IDENTICAL TO YOUR OLD SET UP.
Now that I got that out of my system ;) .... So if the old computer, the xternal drive was seen as for example E:\Music and the new computer happens to be D:\Music the restore is still expecting the music to be in drive E:\. The tool is found under library tools=>Rename move copy files - option is at the top.
