Is there a way to batch change the directory of my audio files? 2011-10-06 02:52:17 Is there a way to batch change directory on a foobar configuration?I recently switched to linux and am running foobar under wine. The hard drive path changed to a Z though whereas my old configuration was an H:.I have tons of playlists that I want to be able to automatically use again but it seems like this is not the case. Any help would be appreciated, whether it is a way to change directories, or somehow change the existing playlists to use the new directories filepath.

Reply #8 – 2011-10-06 17:45:46 Oh nice, never bothered to explore those details, thanks for the heads up.Then the OP could directly point the new Z drive to the ~/.wine/drive_c/musicfolder, right?Still, I'd personally rather move my music library to a dedicated folder: I never liked much those "hard to find" sub-sub-sub-folders.
