How do I tell Banshee the new location of the tracks? I saw a posting
somewhere suggesting that sqlite3 can be used to change all the paths for
all the tracks, but I don't know how to use that database.
- make sure you have the SQLite3 CLI /usr/bin/sqlite3 installed (it's in Debian package sqlite3)
- make sure Banshee is NOT running. - Banshee's database is ~/.config/banshee/banshee.db, make a backup of this file
- change the paths with the command (one line)
sqlite3 ~/.config/banshee/banshee.db \ 'update coretracks set uri = replace(uri, "OLD_PREFIX", "NEW_PREFIX") where uri is not NULL;'
where OLD_PREFIX and NEW_PREFIX are file URIs, e.g. "file:///home/jdoe/Music/" - note the three slashes after "file:", also note the trailing slash.
