<p>I managed to update the location in iTunes by exporting the XML
of the entire library and opened that in a text editor, searched
and replaced allthe paths .. I then deleted my iTunes .itl file and
reimported the new XML .. All seems to be working fine on the
iTunes side but beaTunes still has the old paths.</p>
<p>Can beaTunes bulk relocate file paths?</p></div>ryantag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/374590372015-07-24T11:43:45Z2015-07-24T11:43:45ZRelocate music library<div><blockquote>

<p>Hm. If you are using an iTunes-based library, beaTunes should be
able to handle the relocation <em>fairly</em> automatically. In
theory, beaTunes realizes that the file is gone and as response
asks iTunes where it is now.</p>
<p>What happens when you try playing a file in beaTunes now, that
you have relocated the files?</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/374590372015-07-27T05:27:04Z2015-07-27T05:27:04ZRelocate music library<div><p>Thanks for getting back to me Hendrik.</p>
<p>I ended up creating a symbolic link to the new location of my
music from User/me/Music</p>
<p>I don't think it's a problem with beaTunes .. more likely with
iTunes. It's not that easy to relocate your music in iTunes
unfortunately</p></div>ryantag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/374590372015-07-28T07:30:31Z2015-07-28T07:30:31ZRelocate music library<div><p>Sounds like a good idea—no matter which path is used, your
files will be found, I guess.</p></div>hendrik
