When I created my beets database, I used virtual drive mapped to a Windows laptop to my media server. So all my directories are prefaced F:\. I have decided I don't want to use my Windows laptop to manage the database anymore, but want to use the media server itself, which is Ubuntu. However, when I moved the library.db to the server, I get duplicate warnings because I don't have a F:\ on the server, instead they are at /mnt/data/disk1/music/.
I can think of 2 possible solutions that appeal to me. First have some way for beets to automatically update itself by selecting "replace old" if the old size is 0kb. Other option would be to do a find and replace with some sort of db editor, but that is a little outside my experience. I've read the FAQ and it suggests either mving the files back to their prior location, however, they haven't actually moved, it's just how windows virtual mapping worked in comparison to the linux directory structure. The other option was rebuild the database, but my database is huge and a bit of a mess and it took me days to get it to where it is now, so that isn't appealing either. So I'm open to suggestions. 3rd options, or ways to implement my 2 ideas. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "beets" group.
