Audio Store Path

1. Audio Store Path
The audio store is where uploaded tracks and voice tracks are stored. This location must have read and write permissions to allow PlayIt Manager to save and access audio files
 
Changing the Audio Store Path
When you change the audio store path, the new location will only be applied to newly uploaded tracks. Existing audio files will remain in their current location and will not be automatically moved.
 
Moving Existing Audio Files
If you need to move existing audio files to a new location:
  • Manually move the audio files - Use File Explorer (or your operating system's file manager) to move the audio files from the old location to the new location
  • Update the file paths - Use the Bulk Update Audio File Paths feature (described below) to update all track references in the database to point to the new location

Bulk Update Audio File Paths

2. Bulk Update Audio File Paths
 
Use this feature to bulk update the file paths of tracks and voice tracks in your database. This is essential when you have changed the audio store path and need to remap the file paths so that PlayIt Manager can locate the audio files in their new location.
 
How to Use Bulk Update
 
Replace Path - Enter the old path prefix that you want to replace (e.g., C:\ProgramData)
With Path - Enter the new path prefix that will replace the old one (e.g., F:\ProgramData)
Preview Changes - Click the Preview Changes button to see a sample of files that will be affected
 
Preview
After clicking Preview Changes, you will see:
 
Number of updates - The total count of tracks that will be modified
Sample changes - A list showing examples of the path transformations (displaying up to 3 samples)
Each sample shows the old path with an arrow pointing to the new path
 
Warning
This operation cannot be undone. Before proceeding:
  • Carefully review the preview to ensure the path changes match your expectations
  • Verify that you have backed up your database. The instructions are the same as upgrading versions.
 
Applying Changes
  • Review the preview carefully
  • Check the I have backed up my data checkbox to confirm you have created a backup
  • Click the Apply Changes button to execute the bulk update
 
Once applied, all affected tracks and voice tracks will have their file paths updated in the database to reflect the new location.
