Re: Rebuilding the DB the first time after upgrading from 3.x to Latest Version Probl

FYI on the BOLD above comment: I used "Rename from List" by "MonkeyJob Systems." The Songs.MDB provided the List from each Folder by doing an Advanced SORT in Access.

I was able to interact MSWord and Access to strip out the excess PATH info down to the FILE.kma and renamed all 53,000 files so that I would NOT need to re-import to get the ARTIST and TITLE showing as part of the DiscID on the HD.

It took about 2 days to manipulate all the files. Upon completion, ran the REBUILD DB and all DATA in file names updated correctly in the PATH column of the Songs.mdb.
