[MM2+3] Change Drive-ID after moving Files to a new Drive

urlwolf · Post by **urlwolf** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 11:51 am

Script didn't work for me.
Under tools, there is no:
Tools -> Scripts -> Move Device Content

Any idea why?
I'm using tweakMonkey (In case it helps)

Have you made the changes to the Scripts.ini?

I copied a large library of dance music from my desktop PC to a new laptop. Every song in the library has custom field info that is lost when I perform a scan, so I'm looking for a way to retain that info.

I performed a scan on a single music file so that MM could get the hard drive location info. It found/created new location HD: SQ004Q50V04 (C). After running onkel_enno's Change_HDD_Serial script on my laptop, the library is populated - looks perfect, but the files won't play. I get a MM warning that says: "Tracks from the following location are currently inaccessible, SQ004Q50V04, Please reconnect the drive, insert the CDs, or save the tracks to the Virtual CD".

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Looks like I've solved it. It was a simple data path error.

Thanks for the great script, onkel_enno!

No Problem. Nice that you found the Solution on your own.
I wouldn't have any Idea

An idea for an update I think might be worthwhile...

+ allow the option of moving ALL files from one device-id to another _or_ only *selected* files.

For example, I'd like to move only a subset (specific folders) from one device to another.

I can select these files from the location node > all, however the script moves ALL files on the device-id.

Regardless, it's a great script that should make the upgrade experience a lot easier. Also, this way you don't need to edit the DB manually (which can be dangerous for a new user).

how did you change th database? the script isn't working for me.
