Title: Using playlists after music has been transferred to a new hard drive
Post by: cunger on April 03, 2008, 06:25:43 pm

I just transferred all my music files to a new external hard drive. How do I get the playlists to work?

If I import them, they appear to be blank. And when I go inside the playlist files, they clearly show that they are associated with locations on the old hard drive.

Open the playlists in an editor, and do a find & replace to reflect the new paths used. Then try importing these into MC after you've done this.

Thanks.

After doing the search and replace, however, I am finding it impossible to import the playlists. Each time I try, I get a message saying that an import process is already ongoing and to try again later. I've shut down all other programs, restarted MC 12 and tried again, but I still get the same message.

Any advice?
