I reinstalled windows and the drive letter for my media changed (i changed it manually). Short of exporting every one of my playlists, doing a text search/replace, then reimporting them, is there any way to update the file listings? My media folder is logically laid out (Drive:\Media\Music\Artist\Album) so all i need to do is change the drive and it would be good to go.

And thoughts?

The simplest way that I can think of: .fpls save relative paths if possible so try saving them to the root of the old drive letter, then copy them to the root of the new drive letter and open them in foobar. If the old drive letter is inaccessible then you need to go the search and replace route.

For future reference the best method I found was to save the .fpls to your music root before changing the driver letter/moving the music folder.
