	<br> If you're planning to move files outside of MediaMonkey either manually in Windows Explorer or by using another application you should enable the '''Scan continuously''' option on both the source and destination folder and leave MediaMonkey running while you're making the changes. This way the MediaMonkey Library remains up to date with the new file locations. However you should check out the [[WebHelp:Changing_Filenames/4.0\|~~build~~ in methods for moving files]] as there are automated tools to do so.		<br> If you're planning to move files outside of MediaMonkey either manually in Windows Explorer or by using another application you should enable the '''Scan continuously''' option on both the source and destination folder and leave MediaMonkey running while you're making the changes.
