00:00 Welcome, auto relocating using Rekordbox 6 (RB6) and the Rekordbox Collection Tool (RCT)
00:41 RCT is NOT a replacement for RB6's build in relocation, its an addition

01:46 The demonstration RB6 library, making tracks lost in RB6 on purpose
02:19 Specify the searchfolder where Rekordbox can find the missing audio files
02:58 Where the message "tracks already in collection comes from"

06:54 Using RCT's auto-relocate function
07:16 only if the searchfolder is on Dropbox, Dropbox tracks will be auto relocated. Default only "normal" audio files are relocated.

10:08 Fill the "Merge Metadata" RCT playlist with both the missing tracks and the new files
11:26 This is a relocate option of last resort!
12:09 Cleaning up the mess (sort on exclamation mark and batch remove the missing tracks from the collection)

Strangly enough: The regular Recordbox "Auto-relocate", ALWAYS uses tracks in my "/prebin" (which I use from your apps), which isn't even listed in my "advanced settings" -> Autorelocate search folders" -> Specific user folders" ...
With the merge metadata technique: Is it really only metadata of Artist, Title and Length that is being compared? Album, Genre, etc. is ignored? Correct?
no, all metrics of a tracks are merged from artist to cues with names and beatgrid to comment and everything in between.
Artist, title and length are used to determine identical tracks in the playlist, those must be 100% identical.
@@MixMasterG Your second sentence answers my question. Thank you. Followup question: So, if a tracks artist and title are 100% identical but length is a few milliseconds off, it is not being recognized as identical?
And now another followup question. I would like to understand how to read the logfile. What exactly is the merge-log posted below telling me. (The years in braces in the filename are wrong, that shouldn't matter as you just explained, they're not compared). Artist and title in Rekordbox are definitely identical. Length I can only see in minutes:seconds, it's 04:48 in both, the missing track and the existing track.
The very first error is telling my that the (2015) track is not found, correct?
The Encodertype: 49 line is telling me that the (2012) track _is_ found, correct?
But then there is another "Audio file not found message", referring to the 2015 track again, correct? But why?
I don't understand both of the lines where it first tells me "Tracks with merged data"
but then "Single tracks NOT merged....."
Please elaborate how to exactly interpret both of those messages. Also: what does 10:18 mean in that context?
Thanks a lot for your time! Very much appreciated! :-)

@@jojotodos LogFile is more for my debugging then anything else. please visit the AMA live stream for questions like these, since they are impossible to explain in text.
@@jojotodos Rekordbox measures track length in seconds, not milliseconds, and RCT has a +1 -1 second forgiving range
