1164343 2010-12-23 03:35:00 Ok, i've loaded my playlist from xp back into foobar2000 in 7.

The only problem is, that the mp3 file paths are different in 7.

How can i get foobar2000 to search for the new file paths?

I really don't want to have to make a new playlist as i have lots of songs and it would take me hours to get them in exactly the same order.

iTunes is bloated, stupid, and Apple. I refuse to use anything made by Apple Computers.

Good for you, but it works and is much better than poobar :clap:clap

I used to have FB installed on my PC but I got rid of it in favour of the Apple product that you so despise :)

Each to his own I guess.

1164349 2010-12-23 06:33:00 Is anybody gonna actually answer my question? goodiesguy (15316)
1164350 2010-12-23 06:42:00 What was the path to the music in the Old XP ?

Was it C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\ My Music

One easy way, is mainly for future use, not now. Move the whole music collection to the root of C drive, Eg: C:\Music OR have the music on a separate drive, E for example, that way it will never change.

Most of my music was on my secondary drive, which was C:, because remember, when i had XP the drive letters somehow got the wrong way around. Now i have win7, they are correct, c: is my windows drive and D: is my secondary with E and F as my dvd drives.

I'm able to locate the files then re add them to the playlist and delete the old ones, but that'll take me days.

1164352 2010-12-23 06:55:00 So the folder containing the Music is C:\Music Folder ? wainuitech (129)
