I'm a newby, and I have searched hard for the answer to this question but can't find it. I messed up the music bee desktop app move to a new laptop by breaking the paths to tracks for 1,235 playlists (*.mbp's), and would like to change them all back to the correct path.
Here is the incorrect path
C:\AA\Dropbox (Personal)\Music\JC\JC\Dropbox (Personal)\Music\My Music\JC
Here is the correct path
C:\AA\My Music\JC
Questions:
1. Can I do this globally for all 1,235 playlists?
2. What is the command syntax?
Thanks!

File->Library->Relink Music File Paths.

Old path in the left box
New path at the right

Thank you!  I did see that, but was apprehensive that 'Relink Music File Paths' meant the fundamental musicbee links to the tracks, not the playlist links!

Maybe I don't understand how bad you screwed up your library.  How are the paths in your library playlists but not your library?

Either way, though, it shouldn't hurt anything to run it.  It simply finds the path at the left wherever it exists and replaces it with the path at the right.  Anything that doesn't match the path at the left remains unchanged.
