Try them.  The first is the one I meant.

Also try using DSP Studio > Output Settings to force everything to 16/48 or 16/44.  The problem may occur on format change.

And ask the manufacturer.

I am afraid I cannot find the option to "play leading silence". I find (see screenshot) "play silence at startup for hardware synchronization", which I understand plays silence when the first track is played and then if the sample rate changes, and then "do not play silence (leading and trailing), which I leave unchecked, and then there is the gapped playback between tracks, but this does not seem to actively play silence but it appears just to wait before starting the next track. Where have I not looked?

Thanks!

The option exists.  It's called "Play Leading Silence".  Search window at bottom of options page.

It sounds like it's going into a power saving mode, so anything that uses it might work to power it up.  You could ask the manufacturer.

That's on the wiki under Moving Files.

Did you try the On Screen Display (OSD)?  It's on the wiki.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record ... is there any chance this will be addressed any time soon ?

Think I found one solution. 

After copying the files to the new destination drive, restore the library using the newest backup, then select all files and go into Library Tools / Rename, Move and Copy Files.

In the bottom section on the left there is a Find & Replace tool that lets you rename all the filename roots to a new destination drive and keep all other filename information the same.

It changed all filenames correctly and everything seems to work OK so far.

If anyone has a better solution, please share.

What's the best way to copy a library from one computer to another that uses a different drive ID?

I tried copying all files on my desktop PC to a portable SSD drive used with my work laptop.  The music files on my desktop PC are kept on drive C and the portable SSD drive on my laptop is drive E.

After the files were copied to the portable SSD, I restored the library that was on my desktop to my PC.  At first, the PC had trouble playing any files because it was trying to find them on device C and all files were on device E.  I then did a file import operation and the files were successfully imported.

The problem is, the albums are now showing double files with half shown as on C and half shown on device E.  How do I tell it to disregard the original C drive filenames?

Will this correct itself in time or is there something else I need to do or re-do?

In general, what is the best approach for copying/backing up a library from one PC to another where the files are kept on a different device ID?

Thank you.

I personally do this manually using Beyond Compare every time I make changes to my main music library.

I have hardware (Silex DS600 ethernet LAN to USB) that allows use anywhere on my LAN of a USB audio interface (or almost any other type of USB device) almost as if it were plugged in to the computer. The "almost" is because whenever the DS600 sits idle for a few seconds it then takes 2-10 seconds to re-synchronize when it again is asked to pass audio data, while in the meantime producing hash. The DS600 is potentially great but needs silence to be played every time the play button is pushed, even if the sample rate does not change. This behavior is not caused by the USB audio interface which does not do this when plugged into the computer, and the behavior is consistent across other USB audio interfaces. I realize that this is something that should be fixed by Silex, but I think they don't know how. Does anyone else have equipment that would be happier with a short segment of silence every time "play" is pushed? Could it be an option?
