According to the doc, I modified my local setting to "import:copy:no" and "import:write:no", and used the "-A" flag to trust imported tags. After that, I tried to load some playlists and... unfortunately, something went wrong. I verified and in fact, lots of files are missing.
So I restored my music folder backup (thanks for insisting on backup there), delete the duplicates with "dupeguru" (oldest file is reference), did the "import:copy:no + import:write:no + -A" method again and now I think that now I have all my files. =) --- Matthieu TALBOT [email protected] +33 629 22 15 70 fr.linkedin.com/in/matthieutalbot http://www.soundcloud.com/Marty-Lake http://lifehacker.com/5028808/how-eom-makes-your-email-more-efficient On Mon, 29 Jul 2019 at 14:13, Adrian Sampson <[email protected]> wrote: > Great!
