Better do it in some steps as if one fails for any reason you dont break everything

Just wondering - how exactly do you use labels?

Damn! All my static playlists are now empty. Is there any way of reconstructing them?

Sorry, incomplete post!
I decided not to bother with labels, most played, date added etc and just moved the entire folder to the new hard drive. I rescanned and everything was added in about 30 seconds (I've just realised how fast this thing is on a good computer ) but although I can see the static playlists' names there is nothing contained in them. Normally I wouldn't care, but my OH has been compiling a playlist for her friend for about 4 months and is not amused!

But you moved it outside guayadeque ? if so its normal that as the tracks that the playlist no longer exists appears empty.
Thanks for your help

I understand that but unfortunately I didn't think of playlists when I originally asked the question and was wondering if there was some way to retrieve/edit the items from the playlist somewhere in the gdb file?

if you had a copy of the database before you moved the libary I think I can fix it.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure I don't. I fully intended to back up the whole folder, but forgot in the end.

Then Im afraid nothing can be done as this was deleted from the database when you scanned your library in the new location
