Playlist editing issue

Well, let me first give a background of the scenario.

I use KMPlayer for listening audio. I created this playlist having 200 songs. The source of the songs were in an external drive. Now due to certain changes in h/w the external drive letter has changed (from J: to M

and as an obvious the songs are not playing.

Now give me a solution so that I can edit the playlist to redirect the songs to play from new address (the folder structure is same only the drive letter changed)

S/W used: KMPlayer
Playlist format: M3U format
Drive letter changed: from J: to M:

I dont think there is any other way then re-creating a play list and re-adding files.

You may also try to create shortcuts of the songs in the previous location. That might do the trick

Hmm kinda same proble also occured with me but I am using iTunes.
I use a simple solution. I opened the playlist in MS word now use the find and replace function to chance "/J:/" to "/M:/" . It worked for me as itunes stores files in its library as file:///C:/ so it was quite simple as nothing like /C:/ would exits in the name of any of the Music files you have so it won't corrupt them just change the drive letter. But if you try to change J to M it will also change them in the names of the songs which will cause trouble hence do the way I wrote above

I just did that yesterday. Though, I opened it in notepad, replace all "J:" to "M:".

Now, when I open the playlist I find there are two entries of each song. One that plays and one that won't!!!

I opened the playlist again but found no repeatation there. I tried deleting duplicate entries from the palylist and saving as new, that too did not work.

Might be some hidden file.

Guys problem solved. And it was with me only. No issues with KMP. Sh1t, I was so dumb.

Actually I had selected an option in KMP so that it would open all similar files in a folder. Now my modified playlist and old corrupted playlist were at same place. Everytime I clicked on the new one KMP also loaded the old one too.

Thus a working entry and non-working entry in playlist. Sh1t (happens)
