Still having issues with this. I had to reencode a large portion of my mp3 library (several GB) because some of the files had poor encoding (<192Kbps).

Now since the file size has changed, AIMP can't locate the right file even though it's in the same folder as before, contains the song title in the file name and has probably the same ID3 tags... This makes the process a bit of a PITA.

Example with the track Garbage - A Stroke of Luck missing from the playlist. There's literally a file named "06. A Stroke of Luck" in the same folder but AIMP refuses to take it into account.

It would be nice to have this revised.

I don't know if you changed something in the algorithm but it now produces way more accurate results!

Maybe something relying more on song title and artist name tags? And then on Album name, year, file size, file duration etc? Because yes, the system as it is works for 2 identical files but when the file has either been reencoded, got a change in the title tag (even if it's just 1 character), in the Album name, year, etc I've never seen the suggestions to give good results.

I don't know, I'm just a user who would like to benefit from this Missing file feature

The duration may differ from 2 seconds top but I don't think it was actually different.

Album title and year make the things here! Because different releases may have different version of songs! Key data are title, album, artist, year and duration.

I understand but this system gives a lot of false positives and there are way more chances that files with the same song title + artist are actually the same than one with completely different tags in every label like I had in my results.

It's also easier to correct different releases of the same track because it shouldn't occur that much.

As you can see on this screenshot, AIMP only gave me file replacement suggestions from the _NEW MUSIC folder although I specified the whole drive.

2-Music\James Bond\ folder does not exist anymore but there is a 2-Music\_NEW MUSIC\Best of Bond - 50 Years - Disc 1 that can match the missing files better. Everything is tagged properly but album name and year will differ. See screenshot for Diamonds Are Forever properties.


2-Music\Divers\Oldies folder still exists but the file doesn't, you can find a different version (same song but different file size) in another folder 2-Music\Beavis And Butthead Do America OST (1996)\12-engelbert_humperdinck-lesbian_seagull-eos.mp3 with the same title tags (see screenshot) as the one that got deleted.

In these cases, the files were missing because they were replaced by another encoding version so file size is different but the tags are the same except maybe album title and year. Song Title and Artist or Contributing Artist are the same.

Maybe it would be better to give relevance priority to the song title and artist/contributing artists tags?

Hope this helps, thanks!

You can see from the screenshots I posted in my 2 first messages that track with the exact same file name but different folder structure (I only added the date) do not get a 100% match.

But this is not the most inconvinient thing (I can live with a 69% relevance), as the tool creates a lot of 100% wrong matches and there's no way to easily correct them. You have to point out manually to the right file so if you have 100 missing files in a playlist, you would have to browse 100 times to the correct files which can be a bit time consuming.

I really hope this feature will get some major improvements for the next AIMP versions because it could be very useful.

Thanks Artem, is there a way to refine the search in the Options or somewhere else? I can't really use this feature as it is unfortunately, there are too much wrong matches. Maybe remove the folder structure from the relevance score?

Also, some found files should be marked as 100% match instead of 69 or even 35 because they have the exact same file name. Only one folder name changed. I find this quite odd.

(see screenshot)

Hi, I have a lot of missing files in my playlists due to moving files around on the hard drives. The Find Missing Files feature could be handy but it does not match files correctly most of the time and switches one track for another completely different (see screenshot).

Maybe I'm not using this tool right, I'm just clicking on Search and select my whole Music folder.

Is there a way to configure how it finds the missing files like a search based on relevance (file name + tags + folder names etc)?

Well, it's still worth throwing this message in a bottle into the ocean. Maybe he will catch it sometime, hopefully before the year 3000.

Would also love to get the skin files to have fun with them if it's possible! Definitely the best AIMP skin of all.

Thanks Chivo for your answer. I didn't know Messa was also your work. I tried it and liked it but less than Deep Dark which has less borders so a bigger cover picture, a spectrogram on the bottom cover, but that's really the round handles I 'm not a fan of. But yes, the size is more like it!

Hi Chivo, you created one of the best skins for AIMP. Thank you for that. As I don't have a huge screen I'm trying to resize the player but it looks like I can't do that but maybe I'm mistaken? Been trying to reduce it by 30-40%.

Also, one suggestion if I may, it would be awesome to have the current timing constantly displayed on the mouse when hovering the progress bar like on the Soot skin. No need for track length info as this info is already displayed or the minus remaining time.

Anyway, thanks again for this skin, really grateful!
