Re: Restore Database
No, as shown in the screenshot you should see a drop-down for Location. This you click to select the correct drive on your PC.

Re: Restore Database
There were 3 items in the Location : C:(OS); (OS) and YouTube. Should I remove the two and keep C:(OS) only?
Re: Restore Database
You need to change (OS), it likely is the one with the original files (and files on Playlists).

Re: Restore Database
Sorry, I don't get what you mean. What do you mean by : You need to change (OS)? And how?
Re: Restore Database
You need to use Media Properties on the (OS) entry in Location.

Re: Restore Database
Please correct me if I am wrong. Should I remove the other 2 drives and keep the one with (OS) only? Then open its Media Property and click OK?
Re: Restore Database
Can't say for certain. You'd normally want to fix the old (no drive letter) drive before scanning files in. As you already have C it indicates that you scanned before fixing. This can be a problem if you scanned files you're trying to fix. You can remove the C drive, then fix the (OS) drive.

Re: Restore Database
So I just open the Media Property of the OS drive and click OK, that's it?
Re: Restore Database
Select the correct drive as Location, then click OK.

If you do not have many devices connected on your network you can use https://www.binisoft.org/wfc notifications to track what is going on.bensonspooky wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:39 pm PS: By the way, spamhaus.org kept blocking my IP address and I have to keep asking them to delist it. It only happened to MediaMonkey, no other websites. I don't know what's going on.

Re: Restore Database
Hello Lowlander,
I have tried to reassign using all both "C" and "C(OS)". I went to each Media Property and click OK, nothing changed, songs still failed to play.

Re: Restore Database
Did the (OS) drive actually change in Location? If not, remove the C drive, then change the (OS) drive.

Re: Restore Database
I removed the C drive but after I restart MM5, it kept coming back.
It seems that MM5 couldn't locate my songs in my laptop which is located in the iTunes Music folder.

Re: Restore Database
Hello Lowlander,
I know exactly where my songs are located and they are in neither of the 2 drives in the Location tab. Is there any way to add a new drive to the Location?
Thank you.

Re: Restore Database
Then you may have Folder Monitoring enabled. Disable it, remove C again and then try re-assigning (OS).
