I recently moved all my music to a new NAS (from nas03 - t:\ to nas04 - u:\). I updated my auto-import rules to point to u:\, did a find and replace, shut down nas03 and everything was good to go. This has been at least 3 months. Today I booted up nas03 to install a new firmware and to see what was still left on it, if I should format and re-use the drive space, etc. I then shut the nas down after having it up for maybe 60 minutes. I just fired up MC to playback some music, hit play and got "something is wrong." I noticed that my library is essentially duplicated now, showing entries from t:\ and u:\. I can restore the library and fix the immediate problem, but my auto-import shows nothing pointing to t:\ anymore, so why would MC even try to import from there?
Just want to make sure the next time I fired up the old nas this doesn't happen again... Thanks!

How did you do a find and replace?
My guess (and it's a guess) is that you still had a bunch of entries in your library pointing to T:\ *AND* that you have Fix Broken Links set to "Yes (protect files on missing drives). So when you fired the old NAS back up, MC saw T:\ again and brought all of those entries back to life. You can check to see if that setting is on:
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > Configure auto import > tasks > Fix broken links
I like to keep mine set to "No" and then fix broken links manually. Just my preference.

I think I did Tools > Library Tools > Rename, Move, & Copy Files > Find and Replace t:\ > u:\. With the Update Database, but don't move files option. I'm pretty sure that's what I did because when I open that now it still shows that I last did s:\tv\ -> u:\tv\ (I consolidated two nas boxes with the new one).
I don't have fix broken links checked and the files that were imported today had an import date/time of today. I'm thinking this means they were net-new.

What you remember doing is what I would have recommended. If you definitely have no auto import entries pointing to T:\ then I'm not sure what's going on. Unless you have some mapping or IP that makes the T:\ NAS look like the U:\ NAS somehow? I'm just grasping at straws here.

I bet I had the uPnP protocol on it, but that would have reflected the IP or DNS name of nas03 instead of t:\.
I think I just found it... I exported my entire library to XML and searched on it. I found a few hundred occurrences of t:\, almost all of them seem to be .cue files. Cue files continually drive me bonkers.

Ugggh. Cue files....
