ATF Extender - where is the info store?
 
I am switching my music folder to a diff. hard drive letter. Where are the settings stored for the songs that are rated? Can I change the letters in the file with notepad?

The library database is main.dat in the settings folder. No you cannot use a text editor to change the paths, a hex editor doesn't work either.

If you want to move your files, you could use ml_org and let it do the moving for you. Or you could use ml_impex to export the database to an XML file which you can edit and then re-import then move the files.

ok, i exported my flac 2 files from drive G: to drive F:. I edited my .xml successfully and changed all the G: letters to F: letters. Now, keep in mind this was successful. After I load the .xml file, all my song info were correct. But when I did rescan watch folders my song info(ratings, etc) got lost. Why isn't it retaining the information? What can I do?
