…point beets at a new music directory?
|
||||
--------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to move your music from one directory to another, the best way is
|
||||
to let beets do it for you. First, edit your configuration and set the
|
||||
``directory`` setting to the new place. Then, type ``beet move`` to have beets
|
||||
move all your files.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've already moved your music *outside* of beets, you have a few options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Move the music back (with an ordinary ``mv``) and then use the above steps.
|
||||
- Delete your database and re-create it from the new paths using ``beet import -AWMC``.
|
||||
- Resort to manually modifying the SQLite database (not recommended).
