What is the Missing Track File Analysis tool used for?

The Missing Track File Analysis tool helps you find and fix tracks in your database that reference audio files which have been moved or deleted from their original location. This is particularly useful if you've reorganised your audio files by moving them to a different folder or drive, as PlayIt Live will no longer be able to find them at their stored file paths.

When you run this tool via Tools > Missing Track File Analysis, it scans your entire track database and identifies any tracks whose audio files are missing. You can then choose how to resolve each missing track by updating the path to point to the file's new location, deleting the track from your database if it's no longer needed, or doing nothing if you want to leave it as is. The tool is clever enough that once you've updated the path for one moved file, it will automatically check if other missing tracks have been moved to the same new location and offer to update those paths too.
