Has the external hard drive been allocated the same drive letter that it had on the old computer? If you right-click one of your "empty" playlists and "open with" Notepad, you will see they are simple text documents showing the path to the actual tracks. e.g. L:\Squeezebox Music\A\America\The Complete Greatest Hits\01 A Horse With No Name.mp3 The first letter (L) is the drive letter, if the drive the actual music files are on has been allocated a different letter, you will need to edit the playlist to match the new drive letter. (and rescan the playlists in Slimserver). kidstypike 1xSB3 - 1xBoom - 1x(Squeezebox) Radio - 2xTouch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99237 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
