Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

Accidentally Removed Songs from Main Library

Post by cfspinner »

I accidentally removed a few hundred songs from the main kjams library. They're still in the kjams folder. Is there an easy way to get them back? Don't want to use back up because it was created after the accidental removal.

there's no easy way to recover them. i used to have a "scan for orphans" but it was crashy so instead of fixing it i think i disabled it. try it see what happens?
rebuilding your library will get them back but you'll lose your singers and playlists. if you really need this i'll re-enable "scan for orphans" and actually debug it. let me know.

Rebuilding the Library will be ok. I don't have any other playlists and I can rebuild the singers. Are there specific steps to follow when rebuilding or is it a menu item that does the magic? Thanks!
