Glad to be of any help. Playlists are basically just text files. Search the internet for a text editor that can replace text in multiple files at once, open all playlists in the text editor and replace the changed part of the file path. This is certainly easier than recreating all playlists. -s. -- slimpy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimpy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1524 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27746 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
