Bug Reports / Re: The source file could not be found for every track in whole library

« on: August 30, 2024, 10:06:16 PM »

Thanks for the link, but it is for moving the source location of my music eg from the C drive to the D drive.  However, my music has never been moved. It's always on the d:/ drive.  It's just for some strange reason MusicBee has got confused and thinks that it's on the c:/ drive. 

I have actually found a work around already.  In Preferences and under the library tab there is a Monitored folders section where I checked continuously monitor and then selected the location on my D drive where my music library is.  Then it duplicated all of my music library and sourced it from the D drive.

Regarding taking me hours to upload all my music.  The reason it takes so long is because I have so much music to upload.  And I quite often have to edit either some of the track information or find and upload an album cover.

Bug Reports / The source file could not be found for every track in whole library

« on: August 30, 2024, 02:38:34 PM »

I spent hours uploading all my albums to musicbee with all of the music located on the D:/ drive of my computer.  I have been using it for about a year now no problem but all of sudden every track now has an exclamation mark against it and when i double click on it to play the track, a message says that the source file could not be found.  It is also showing the original file location for the track as being on the C:/ drive.  This is not correct because all my music has only ever been on the D:/ drive. 

Any ideas why it is doing this?  Is there a quick way to correct this?  Surely I don't have to go through all of my tracks one by one to point them to their location on D:/?   When i uploaded them to Musicbee they were all on D:/ so don't understand why musicbee is pretending that they were on C:/

I just moved the library from the Musicbee app and can now access everything on my other computer by using the Musicbee portable app.  Thanks for your help.

On my c drive there is only a Musicbee folder where all the program files are.  There isn't a MusicLibrary folder on c drive that i can see; there also isn't a MusicBeeLibrary.mbl file anywhere.  Shall i use the non portable Musicbee app to move the music library to the network folder that i created in step 2?  After it has been moved, will the library work when i try and use it from the portable version of Musicbee app?

I do have an existing library which I used for the non portable version of Musicbee.  Where is the default location for the library?  I can't see the location anywhere in preferences.

Can you explain what you mean in step 7:
7. Create your library in the folder you created in step 2 USING THE NETWORK ADDRESS NOT THE LOCAL ADDRESS.

Does it mean to go into the preferences and click on library tab, then click on move library button and then select the MusicLibrary folder that I created in step 2?

Can you explain what you mean in step 3. Share the folder(s) with your music files on the network.
