Moving media library

Hi,

I'm about to move my songs from c:\music to d:\music. Since I have one flac per album, alot of important information is in Foobar2000's database. If I move the files from Window's Explorer, is the data in the database sustained? Or do I have to make the move from within Foobar2000? If, how do I do that?

from what i've seen, there are functions in sdk to point database metadata to new file ...

however i'm not aware of any pluging that could do what you need

You can use Masstagger's Rename Files option to move them around and keep the information in the database

Can this be done even for flac-files containing whole albums? I try, but it doesn't seem to work...

Try using %_path% or %_filename% in your renanming strings.
