I will try that. But what about the "file%3A%2F%2F%2F%2FMUSIKMASKINEN%2FMedia%2520(D)%2FFlac%2" bit that has been moved to "\\Musikmaskinen\Musik (H)\Mina CD (Flac)"? What if there are entries in the backup file for the same music file but with different paths that I through the search and replace operation unify to one path? Can TrackStat handle multiple entries in the database for one music file, i.e. one path? Sorry for all the questions, but I just want to be sure that I do not make any mistake. A simple answer, with no explanation of technical details, would be enough for me, if there is such a thing as a simple answer like "Go ahead, TrackStat will take care of that". erland;471672 Wrote: > The backup might contain more information then what you see.

With TrackStat save a backup copy of the current database. 3. Search and replace the 92 MB backup file. 4. Remove all data from TrackStat. 5. Restore the old 92 MB backup file, that I searched and replaced. 6. Make a backup copy of the new, current, backup file. 7. Search and replace the new, current, backup file. 8. Restore the new, current, backup file, that I searched and replaced. 9. Hope for the best. Or would the other way around perhaps be better? I may have files recently played, that have a high play count in the old backup but with only one play in the current database. If that is the case then perhaps I will lose the play count from the old backup and have that replaced with a play count of only one?
