I posted this to the general discussion forum a while ago and got no replies. So I'll try again here:
-------------------------

With all of my creating, deleting, moving MP3s, and general work with them, I always end up with M3U playlist files with bad filenames and/or bad paths.

Has anyone come across software that can look at a M3U file, then scan your drives, and come up with files with the same, or similar filenames as options for replacing the bad entry in the file?

Thanks,

Shel

I rememberd seeing something like this some time ago. The HA search was useless as always, but with the help of google I could find this:

It's not exactly what you're looking for but anyway... it's a start...

Hmmm... Let's see:

Hmm... well I'll download and see what the " ~15 configurable options" are.

Thanks for the tip.

Hmm... the link to the executable seem to be dead. But a Google search for "Playlist Verifier" came up with something called Jukebox Synchronizer that looks interesting:
