Not really a "wish" but a minor suggestion.

Remapping evokes the idea of giving alternate directions from point a to point b (to non-programmers at least, I know there is a technical definition).  To the average user, it would likely indicate redirection. For months I thought that the Remap Music Folders was redirecting requests from C:\OldDirectory to C:\NewDirectory on the fly for this reason.  I guess I'm a literalist.

A more user friendly name for the function would be something like "Update File Locations" or "Update Paths," something to let the user know that the actual paths in the library will be updated rather than just redirected.

Hope this helps.

+1, but I think "update" would be as or more easily confused with reorganization.  Something like "relink music file paths" might be more effective.
