I appreciate that you are trying to help, I really do. At the heart of the issue is the sheer number of artists and tracks in the library. It's very big. There are 10 or so playlists of anywhere between 300 - 500 tracks each. Any bulk moves I might do will likely only affect a small number of tracks in those playlists (or none at all). But I can't remember every single artist and track in each list, so I would have to go through every list and review every track, somewhat tedious but doable (which is what I'm going to do now if I can't get the log entries to appear). But with the logging, I can easily what is typically the small number of tracks which need to be corrected and which playlists they are in. In practice, it's quite effective compared to anything else I've attempted. > > What I'm suggesting would be to organize your library something like: > > D:\a\Al Green > D:\b\B.B.

Apart from the incredible amount of work that would go into such a reorganization, it would still be more work than finding the few exceptions in the log file. I know right now that there are about 60 tracks that need to be corrected in one of those playlists by comparing an older LMS install with the one I'm working with now. But I don't know which of the over 500 tracks are in that playlist, although I can guess at many of them based on the artist moves I've made. And yes, I used to do a search and replace based on the entries in the log file, so it was fairly quick.
