Topic: I need help changing file path in History Play List

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm hoping you can help me out. I imported an older history list from another Mac. I'm unable to play tracks from theses lists due to file path changed.

I'm able to change the path by choosing "Relocate Missing File" but it's a painstaking process.

Is there an easier way to do this?
See attached image. It shows the different file paths.
Thanks for your help.

You can change the file paths directly in the history m3u playlist files
m3u files are just formated text files, so you can do this in any standard text editor
Back them up first, and do it while VDJ is closed

Use a text editor with "find and replace" and you can change the path for all your playlists in one batch.

There used to be one that did this but it was a Windows program.

Didn't test it but "relocate missing files" is available for blocks of missing files :
- recurse history
- sort by "exists"
- select all missing
relocate missing is available so it should work

I'm using "listFix () v2.20" for Mac.
It's Java, but clean.
