Recover Playlist after Folder Move

Everyone knows this problem.. you move your music files to another folder, drive or subfolder.
now you can reindex the whole library but all playlist entries are broken.
my suggestion: indexing should create a checksum of each file and this should be connected to the playlist, so you can recover the broken links.
for backwards compatibility there should be a function to search for filename and/or folder etc. to find the correct link to the hdd.

You can try foo_playlist_revive https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,73910.0.html. Install the component and then, in the main menu -> Edit -> Revive Dead Items. Good luck.
