thank you very much for your prompt and your suggestions!

Re: Moving library to new drive and path

The instructions for changing a drive assume that the complete file structure is the same on both drives.
Previously D:/iTunes/Music/etc... becomes E:/iTunes/Music/etc...
When I migrate my Mediafiles to an other location (folder or drive), I make a simple copy with the explorer.
Then I disconnect my old drive.
In MM5 I select Entire Library > All tracks and let MM search the new location (Files > Locate moved/missing files...)
This approach has the advantage that all stored data (e.g. added etc.) is included in the DB.
Especially the process
Locate moved/missing files... is pretty fast!!
