[SOLVED] Removing references to missing files

Post by Eric van den Bosch »

Hi,

I just started using MediaMonkey again. Just discovered MM has an Android-client now and that's exactly what I needed to ditch iTunes. However, my library now has a lot of references to files that are greyed out.

So for one and the same song there may be two references, with these paths:
[MUZIEK HD]:\Muziek\Music\Morphine\At Your Service\1-01 At Your Service.mp3 <- greyed out
E:\Muziek\Music\Morphine\At Your Service\1-01 At Your Service.mp3

The second one is the working file, the first one the missing file.

Now I'm trying to clean up the library, but unfortunately doing that by hand - after sorting on path - proves to be a lot harder than I expected. MM keeps freezing up if I try to remove too many files at the same time. Is there another way to do this?

Thanks!
Peke

Hi,
Under each collection -> Location you will ahev listed locations that do not have assigned drive letters and those locations are holding grayed tracks.

Also under Files to edit -> Dead links you will list all tracks that are missing.

O wow, that was way easier than I imagined! I'm so accustomed to software having just one way to accomplish a task, I completely missed that.

Thank you!
Eric
