PS I should add that, if I go to one of my existing playlists and right click on a track -> properties, the file path is shown as

[]\Music

not as D:\Music - possibly because the D drive doesn't exist any more?

How to tell MediaMonkey that my music folder has changed?

I have the portable version of MediaMonkey 4 running on a Windows 11 PC.

A hard drive failed, but luckily I had a synchronised copy on a NAS, which is mapped to a drive letter.

How can I tell MediaMonkey that all the music which was, say, in D:\Music is now in N:\Music ?

If I tell MediaMonkey to scan N:\Music, it adds the new files, but it doesn't understand that they are the same as the old ones, in a different location. So for example all the saved playlists don't work, because the program can't find the files.

This post viewtopic.php?t=101644 suggests using MediaMonkey to move the files, but that's not really an option at this stage.
