Hey, new to AIMP. I just got a new laptop. This is Windows 11, the old one was Windows 10. So MusicBee no longer fully works, and I switched over to AIMP.
I saved my old playlists as m3u files and imported them here. But now, none of the tracks within them work. They all read "not found." All the necessary tracks DO exist, but the playlist can't find them. The tracks play normally outside of playlists.
Is there a way to tell AIMP to, en masse, fix all these file locations? I have NOOOO patience nor the hand strength to fix them all individually. If this feature doesn't exist, it seems like a massive oversight.
BTW: Why does the verification expire after like a minute? I did the thing before finishing my post. GOD that's annoying too.

Open the problematic playlists in notepad, look at the paths in the player by highlighting the track and pressing the F4 key.
Similarly, look at the paths through the explorer or when adding files individually.

I can open those in notepad? Awesome, thank you. That should help a lot.

Okay, an update: I tried the thing in Notepad with a find/replace to make the file paths correct, but AIMP still can't find the bulk of them. The file paths haven't updated in AIMP but they have in the m3us. =/ Deleting the playlist from AIMP also deletes it from the hard drive and I don't see a way to JUST remove the playlist from AIMP. So I'm backing up the m3u and trying to reimport it.
Which godddd that's annoying.
Edit: AIMP says it'll delete it from your hard drive but doesn't actually seem to?

Try to use the "find missed files" function (it can be found in context menu of playlist's tab, in AIMP5).
