Migrate m3u to New PC, different Drive

Post by RGADAWG »

I have exported *.m3u from MM5 from old PC - Drive L.
> L:\_musicNAME

All my music files on the new computer are on a different Drive letter, but otherwise the file structure is exactly the same. I just need the *.m3u files to import to MM5 on the new computer correctly. As is, when they are scanned, the Playlists are showing up, but the list of music files are blank in all the Playlists. Thanks

New PC

I do see a massive Search/Replace seems to work.. But, I suspect that moving around within the MM GUI, these lists are not going to be preserved like when the MM dB is working with things.

*.m3u Files

Search : [MUSIC]
Replace : X:

Takes
> [MUSIC]\_musicNAME\..myFiles\..

To
> X:\_musicNAME\..myFiles\..

The easiest method is using the database: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... w_computer

Otherwise you have to edit the Playlist files before import.
