MMW5 Renaming my music repository

Post by happylad1965 »

Hello,
I am getting the hang of these programs both the MMW5 and MMA

now so far I have imported my music into MM
I have used a rather long name on destination drive to copy it all to
E:\mediamonkey-music
and am painstakingly renaming and re-editing all my playlists exported from iTunes - nearly done
again using this too long E:\mediamonkey-music

after all this hard work - no external links exist
all the playlists and music is in E:\mediamonkey-music under folders for music video etc

my question is how do i rename this folder to a simpler name like E:\MMW please
without loosing or deleting anything

then do I need any further steps when I attach my android phone for sync - which is already setup as one way server to device- and delete anything not matching

thank you

You can rename the folder in the Location sub-node directly. Any Playlists in MediaMonkey will also update (but not external Playlist files).

Okay thank you,
just for clarification my end , I do not want to mess this up.

Do I go to Entire library/location and then do this rename please ?
and what about the folder the playlists are in - (all the links within each playlist is internal ie it points to the folder
I mentioned above in entire library E:\mediamonkey-music\music or playlists or video etc


thank you

Any changes within MediaMonkey will update the Playlists within MediaMonkey.

It won't change Paths on external Playlist files.

Hi,
eg. you would need to re export those playlists in order to get external list updated.
