Importing Playlists

[pgold95]

I am having a problem and I hope someone can help. I just started using Media Monkey based on a lot of research. I am finally leaving iTunes! Anyway, I have moved all of my music into the MM library and now I have a few playlists that I want to import. I used a third party tool to get the playlists out of iTunes and I edited them to reflect the new locations of the files (I moved them to a non iTunes location). Based on what I read on other posts, I went to File > Add/Rescan files to the library. I choose the folder where my edited M3U files are. The playlists (3 in this case) appeared in imported playlists. However, there were no songs in the playlist. I cannot figure out how to get the playlists to be populated with the actual files.

Any help would be appreciated, as I cannot find anything in these forums.

Thanks

If the Playlists show no files it normally means the files don't exist in the Paths stored in the Playlist.

Then how do you change the path in each title in each playlist without editing every track?

Thanks

If the same part of the Path is changed for all files on the Playlist (ie. from C:\My Music to D:\Music) you can use any text editor's (like Notepad) Replace function to change this for all files on the Playlist.

Thanks. So I open each play list in notepad, perform a replace function, then save?

Yes, if you have an advanced Text editor like Textpad or Notepad++ you'd be able to open multiple files and perform the Replace on all open files simultaneously.
