You say you didn't move the files, just "slightly" renamed them by changing folder names. MM4 - and any other program you might use - will think you moved them, because you gave them a new address (and didn't tell MM that you did so). All the people replying to you are telling you that the first step is tell MM the new addresses - then you can deal with any other issues. You tell it the new addresses by using File -> Locate Moved/Missing files. As others have pointed out, the instructions on how to procede are here:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... sing_Files. In step 1, I think you will find the files to be located by going to Music > Files to Edit > Dead Links in the media tree. (Music is the name of a collection - in this case, the collection that contains everything in your library.)

Thanks yarguy, yep, that is correct, I didn't move the files, just renamed them and as mentioned a few times, I have tried the ideas, plus yours above and none have worked. However, I have just moved the relevant playlists into the MMG4 media tree and so far, so good.

Then you need to edit the Playlist files (the M3U files on your PC) directly. This can be done using any text editor like Notepad.
You can use the Edit > Replace function in Notepad if you want to make the same change for all the occurrences of this value. So you can Replace double spaces with singe spaces.
