To rescan folders

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Use the Rescan Folders function to rescan the folders containing audio files already linked to the database. CATraxx will add new audio files not already in the database, and delete tracks that link to deleted audio files (or just remove the links to the files).

1.Open the Audio menu and choose Rescan Folders.
 
CATraxx rescans the folders containing audio files linked to the database, and will locate both new audio files not already added the database, and tracks linking to deleted audio files.
 
When completed, you see the 'Rescan Folders' window.
 
2.On the Deleted files tab you see the deleted files that the program is unable to locate.
 
To simply show the tracks that link to these files in the Track View, select Show tracks.
 
If you want to remove the links to these files, select Remove file links.
 
If you actually want to delete the tracks that link to these files, select Delete tracks. In addition, if you also want to automatically delete empty albums (that is, albums with no tracks), check the Delete empty albums box.
 
If you do not want to process the files in some of the folders, uncheck the box next to the folder name.
3.On the New files tab you see the new audio files not already added to the database.
 
If you do not want to add the files in some of the folders, uncheck the box next to the folder name.
4.Click OK to process the selected files.
