Unable to remove album
-
All,
I have a small challenge. Strawberry has a specific album in the Library but this album is not on disk. I did all the possible scans but it will not remove.
Any help on how to remove an album from the library which is not any more on disk.TIA,

Try this:
Tools > Settings > CollectionRemove your source folder (Under, "These folders will be scanned for music to make up your collection")
Click "OK". Close Strawberry.
Open Strawberry. Collection should now be empty, and you can add the folder back in. Allow Strawberry to fully scan the folder.

That will also cause you to lose playlists, and possible also play counts and ratings unless it's saved to tags. -
@jonas Ahh, too big a hammer, I guess! I didn't think of that. Thank you for the caveat.
What would the solution be, then? Editing the database? That might be beyond the skill level of many users.

To all: All my tracks are in a directory structure /Media/audio, so there is only 1 source folder.
My expectation was that if I do a full rescan Strawberry would scan my folder structure and update the database AND it would scan the database and validate if the track is on the disk. If not, then remove it from the database. It seems it does it different .
So the only thing that needs to be done is removing the tracks from the database (from what I understand). I am not a db admin but I am willing to give it a try by deleting the tracks from the db. It is unique since the album artist is 10CC (my other 10CC albums are by 10cc ... in lower caps).
If you can give me the instructions .. I am willing to give it a go
