WinAmp playlists after changing drives

[GagHalfrunt]

My motherboard fried a little bit back and as part of the reconstruction process I reorganized my system and removed an optical drive. That changed drive letters and instead of my media archives being located on F they're now on E. Needless to say, none of my playlists work anymore. Is there a convenient way to edit the playlists to change the drive letter or even better an app that'll batch edit a large series of playlist files? Or am I stuck having to reconstruct them one by one?

Why dont you just change the drive letter

Right Click on My Computer -> Manage -> Disk Management -> Right click on drive in question and go to change drive letter.

Be careful with that, if you screw up your system drive letter you run the risk of a BSOD on boot because Windows will no longer be able to locate it's system folder .. or at least, it happened to me with 2k Pro

can you open them in notepad and do a find & replace?

ex. replace "x:\" with "y:\"

Well sure, if you want to take the easy and sensible way out...

LOL, never even thought of that. But it worked out okay since they were on a data drive that didn't have any system or program files, swapping letters couldn't mess anything up except a couple of shortcuts. Thanks for the idea.
