Thanks for the prompt responses.  It always impresses me that people are
so willing to give their time on this forum.

The "Find alternative files" will not, I think, work for me as the vast
majority of the changed files are .flac rather than .mp3.  I assume that
the file extension must be the same?

Using MS Access and VBA (having linked the appropriate tables from the
SBS database).  Step through each record and check whether the file
referenced by the url field still exists.  If not, take some action...

Not until just recently so a lot of the TrackStat records have blank
musicbrainz fields...  (>_<)

I like Phil's ideas where I don't have to manipulate the database
directly.  If I were to use the server trace log to see what urls could
not be restored, do I need to change any logging settings from their
default to ensure this information is recorded?

Just out of interest, what role does the tracks_persistent table have? 
Does the TrackStat plugin update it?

It's like, how much more black could this be?  And the answer is none. 
None more black.
