Prevent foobar from stopping on a dead entry

How do I prevent foobar from stopping on a non-existent track (dead/duplicate entry) and just play the next existent track on the playlist? I always have dead/duplicate tracks on my playlist due to constant moving of my audio files...which leads me to my 2nd question. Is there a way to monitor my audio files (remove dead/duplicate entries automatically)? Even when I already removed them manually on the main playlist/album list, these dead/duplicates re-appear on the other playlists that i create.

You can remove dead entries from fb2k's internal DB in the preferences->database page.

I someway have a feeling that an auto-update feature for the DB (not just for dead but also for new files) may be coming in future fb2k versions, because so many people have requested it, and its the main showstopper for having "smart-playlists".

Have you tried unchecking Preferences->Core->Stop playing on file open errors? I don't know if it does what you want, but it might be worth a try.
