Trying to migrate my music to a new computer without breaking everything.
Here is the current situation:

>Old PC
- Windows 7, Foobar 1.3;
- I don't have the PC anymore;
- I have my root Music folder, intact;
- I have the foobar Appdata folder backed up, as well as the Program Files folder.

>New PC
- Windows 10, Foobar 2.4;
- Playlists are all dead because the music folder directory is different - I don't have a D:/ Drive anymore, only C:/, so I can't work around this;
- Layout is absolutely broken, but I can reconfigure it later, minor issue;

How the hell do I make it so foobar isn't retarded and understands that my music Folder is identical to the previous one, just stored in a different place?
This should be simple, but simply adding the folder to my monitored library didn't do the trick.

I tried to install 1.3 instead to see if it helps, but same problems persist.
Thought maybe I would be able to export playlists, but it has to be done one-by-one and the saved directory remains D:/.

I would have to export all of them individually and then batch-replace every song directory to the new one.

Or use a playlist fixed that goes by MD5, but I have duplicates and this could mess things up in some minor ways.

Partition manager, take part of your C: drive and name it D:, then slap your files in there

You can drag and drop playlists from the foobar 1 window to the foobar 2 window.
>but it has to be done one-by-one and the saved directory remains D:/.
Once you've dragged and dropped all your playlists from foobar 1 to 2, go to AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2\playlists-v2.0. Open all the .fplite files in a text editor program such as notepad++ and find and replace D:\ to C:\.

This actually gave me a better idea, I made it so my external harddrive with the backed up data gets named D:, so now the playlists work, and then I moved the files using foobar's file handling system.

Didn't know about the drag and drop, thanks.
Was able to avoid manually renaming all directories, I'll have to learn how to batch replace another day.

Thanks, anons.
