Moving big batch of MP3s without screwing up playlist

[fustercluck]

I want to move a big chunk of my MP3s to another drive, but i have a playlist setup just the way i like it of the mp3s i want to move. If i move them over the other drive, the playlist won't work anymore. Anyway i can move the batch of mp3s and still have my playlist work? It'd be a B to try and make the playlist again, because i did a lot of picking and choosing.

You can probably open up the playlist file in a text editor and do a simple find/replace on the part of the path that has changed.

They don't really have path names in front of them, just stuff like "#EXTINF:148" - whatever that means.

"#EXTINF:148" must have been defined earlier in the playlist. Hopefully you would only have to modify that definition

[fustercluck]

Yeah, it's .m3u
