How do I use the Missing Track File Analysis tool?

The Missing Track File Analysis tool helps you identify and resolve tracks in your database that reference audio files which have been moved, renamed, or deleted from your computer. This commonly happens when you reorganise your music library or move files to a different location.

To use this tool, go to Tools > Missing Track File Analysis and click Scan for missing track files. PlayIt Live will check every track in your database to verify that its audio file still exists at the expected location. Once the scan completes, you'll see a list of any problematic tracks. For each missing track, you can choose a resolution by clicking in the Resolution column: select Do Nothing to skip it, Update path to point the track to a new file location, or Delete to remove the track from your database entirely. When you select Update path for one track, PlayIt Live will intelligently check if other missing tracks have also moved to the same new location and suggest updates for those as well. You can also bulk-select multiple tracks using CTRL or SHIFT, then click Mark selected to apply the same resolution to all of them at once. After reviewing your choices, click Resolve to apply the changes.
