Ideally I would like to just change the location of my music directiry from C:\Music Source to D:\Music Source while also keeping my Playlists in synch.
In MM5 it is easy. Move All files to D:\Music -> in Files -> Manage Database Backup current library (just in case). Make sure D:\ is not scanned and if it is delete it, then Enable Tools -> Options -> Library -> Collections -> Entire Library and finally Expand Entire library -> Locations right click on C: -> Media properties -> Select D: drive -> OK and try to play any track from any playlist. They should play, and if they play then you are done.
Also I would consider using MM as portable (even it is installed on C:) because that way you can easily copy Portable folder to Any PC and keep all your playlists, stats when you connect external HDD (MM do not care about Drive letter as each HDD partition have unique Serial number).
If I confused you more than helped you feel free to ask and we should help you.
