Search for titles without sound file  
Top  Previous  Next

Sometimes it happens that sound files have been deleted or by chance just removed to another drive. In those cases Moodmixer looses its link- and therefore one cannot listen to these files anymore - BUT they will still be planned in the playlists.  
 
You wouldn't want that!  
 
Here the [Search and replace]-function helps to change the path definition in order to re-establish the connection between the Moodmixer and the sound files. Scanning those moved files back into the library would unnecessarily enlarge the database - and for these files all changes that have not been written back into files ( Tag- Information and Moodmixer ratings) would be lost.  
 
Via the menu option [Search - title without sound file] ........  
 
searchwithoutsound  
 
Moodmixer checks all datarecords and only displays those whose path entries don't show any more matching sound files.  
 
replacepath  
 
In the column [path] one simply has to select the files, right click onto column head and choose [Replace] and enter the path that is to be replaced into the "search" textbox and enter the correct new path into the "replace" textbox and Press the [replace all]-button.  
 
 
replacepathbox  
 
G Please make sure that you only enter the part of the path that has to be replaced !  
 
Once one has finished this operation succesfully - a doubleclick in the left empty column next to a title gives proof, that the link to the soundfile has been re-established! The title can be listened to again!
