Hi everyone,
So, I just installed Rekordbox on a new PC and want to migrate my tracks and data from my old computer. All files are located in the iTunesMedia folder, but the drive letter has changed from the old computer to the new one. I was able to import my old library (without audio) and everything looks good - except for the fact that I have to link all tracks individually via the missing files manager. I read in an official post on the forum that it should actually be able to locate all of them, if I just point to a single file in the new location?
Maybe the problem is that the iTunes folder divides everything into subfolders based on artist and album and that Rekordbox does not scan subfolders?
However, the folder structure was exactly the same on the old computer (except for the drive letter as stated). I really hope that there is a workaround for this as I do not cherish the idea of locating every individual file manually.
Thanks!

You can mass-relocate simply by finding one of the files and telling rekordbox to relocate the rest based on that change.
Chances are, all that's changed is the top end of the path (the username) to your iTunes media folder.

Awesome. It works!
Thank you for the speedy reply as well.
This only works in a single folder, NOT subfolders. So if your missing files are spread over 100 folders you're totally screwed. Who has time for doing this!?
There could be a tick box to select "search subfolders" like in most other library programs. (standard windows explorer function)
Also, you cant merge two identical files in the case you find a double up and delete one. "This File is Already in Collection" is about the most unhelpful and frustrating search result. Simply adding "merge these library entries as one" would solve this. Really easy.
The missing file manager is only half baked, and its so simple to fix it, its frustrating to still be waiting for a complete version.
