All files are inaccessible

Post by BenRad »

I'm running the first alpha debug build. I was having the usual playback crashes you get with alpha builds but nothing major.

Turned my machine on today and all the tracks are greyed out, reading inaccessible. All of my music is on my NAS, mapped to drive M:. I have confirmed I'm able to access through file manager. I noticed the path is strange: "[music]\Sidney Gish\don't call on me\09 - 8-23.flac" Is there a way to find and replace the entire db with [music] to m:? Let me know if you need more information.

Is the Mapped Drive still accessible in File Explorer? If so, it's likely that Windows changed the driveID (it shouldn't, but this is why UNC Paths are recommended).

Luckily this can be fixed easily within MediaMonkey.

That fixed it, thank you. Now that I think of it, I've probably asked you this same question 3 or 4 times over the years ...appreciate the quick response.
