Good to know. Does file monitoring a few folders slow down MM much?
Not for me, but I also have a relatively small library. Still, I'm probably monitoring ~500 folders or so without any slowdowns.

Took a similar risk some weeks ago, but I prefer doing it using explorer for mass moving (decided to have a new structure using record label).
As I have only right now a couple of playlists (also part of my reorganization process), I found it easier to save them as .m3u, and edit them with a text editor (find original path/replace with new path-save). I put them back into MM when I was finished. Of course I was moving folders and not stray files...

Just move your files within MediaMonkey so that the links are not lost. Send them to the other drive using the Auto-organize tool at Tools -> Auto organize or move them through the "My Computer" node.

I just really got into media monkey and playlists. If I move files onto one drive instead of 2 like they are now, will it totally mess up the handful of playlists I've made? Is there a script or way that will find files and reassociate them to a playlist?
