I meant the actual Path it shows in MediaMonkey. Auto-Organize could be the source of the problem, although it would be strange as Auto-Organize updates DB when moving files.

I do have it enabled
File format is artist\album\track number - artist - title

Could this be the issue? I think it happens most times when there is a number in the title and I remove that number

I do, it is checked

track name (title), when I change that. Say I import files and it gives me the track name title of 02 - Eleanor Rigby and I delete the 02 - so the song is just tilted Eleanor Rigby it becomes a dead link and I have to go into files to edit, dead link and then search for missing files


Also I'm on Windows 8.1 64bit most recent version of MM

Be more specific. Are you talking about track name (title)? File name? Path name?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search, but my terms seemed too broad and there were a ton of results, but didn't see anything that looked like what I want.

Every time I change the name of a song for what ever reason it becomes a dead link. Why is this and how can I prevent it from happening? I know how to edit them quickly, but it is just annoying that MM does this.
