Tried many methods. Still not able to transfer my music to a different path...

.Hi all,


I tried numerous methods, searched on forums, still can't get this problem sorted out...


Long story short, I reformatted my computer (windows), and used a new user name (e.g. from John Doe -> John D), and it screws most of my musics with exclamation marks next to them.


My itunes Media files are fine, they are now placed in E:\Musics.


Question:


There are still thousands of musics that the system think it is at "file://localhost/C:/Users/John Doe/Music/........". Is there a way to massively change all these paths to "E:/Music"...



That's all I need but I can't get it fixed. Tried TT2's FindTrack script but it doesn't work (can't find matched musics).



Can anyone help me to solve this problem...

I figured it is not your script's problem (of course 😝). After carefully checking, I recognized most of the musics that didn't get the correct match are the ones that I deleted long ago (but didn't delete on iTunes). So of course your script couldn't find a match.

My fix is quite easy afterall. I didn't realize Apply added new features that would fixes this issue. Basically, after 1 or 2 attempts to manually locate your exclamation-marked ⚠ musics, a window will pop up asking if you want iTunes to find other ⚠ musics in similar paths. I clicked yes and it fixes hundreds of musics, did that several times with the rest and within 10 minutes I got thousands of tracks back to normal 🙂
