I have moved music files to an ext HD (H:) in order to free up internal HD space. I've been trying to point MC to the new location without success. I'm sure there is an easy way, I'm just missing it.

thanks

Do a Find and Replace.

If, for example, you have moved all your audio files from C:\My Music\ to H:\Music, do the following:

• Do not re-import the files. Right click in the content pane and select Library Tools > Find and Replace.
• Remove all checkmarks (with the select none button) then place a checkmark next to Filename or Filename (path).
• In the Find What box, type C:\My Music
• In the Replace box, type H:\Music
• Match the case if required, and then select OK.
• All library fields that used to point to C:\My Music now point to H:\Music.

That took care of my issue. Now I can play from the H: drive without problems. However, I attempted to rip a couple new CD's to MC and it will only rip to the C: drive. Can the H: be set to receive ripped music or must it go first to the C: drive then moved to the H: drive


thanks

It's in the settings for ripping.  Or go to settings for File Locations.
