Sorry Lowlander, but I gave you incorrect information. After executing the latest 2024 beta on my “working PC” (Desktop), I added a few new files and some updated files, ran Add/Rescan, and found every file in my library had the correct path (C:\User\tsoca\Music\filename.flac). So I did not run the Edit Tags tool.
I then copied the Desktop’s MM5.db to my “gig PC” Laptop plus the same aforementioned new and updated files, ran the Locate Missing Files tool, and found 19 files (out of a total of 1,860) had an incorrect path:
[0A31-490D]\Users\Tom\Music\filename.flac. (Don’t know if it makes a difference, but notice the difference in the User’s name – Tom vs tsoca on every Library file).
I checked the Properties of a “bad” file vs a “good” file using explorer and found no differences, such as read-only (not checked). Back to the Desktop, I ran the Edit Tags tool, and to my surprise, every file in the Library threw the error “Tag Update Failed; file not accessible.” If it’s a permission issue on the Laptop, why are only 1% of the files affected?
As I mentioned in a previous post, I can edit the Laptop path properties manually, but that’s getting tedious every time I add or modify a file.
