How does the Library update songs in folders?

[xzsaimon16]

One possibility would be to extend the makelibrary command to make it assign specific tags to the newly added tracks, what do you think?

The idea seems good to me. A command to move or copy files from the scheduler would also be nice. to make route changes, programmed from the tool in the music library

Or more specifically, to make it assign specific tags to newly added tracks to specific folders. This would be PERFECT

For simplicity purposes, a single makelibrary command would be able to assign tag(s) to all tracks that it adds.

You can run batch files (.cmd) from the scheduler that will perform any move or other operations that you need e.g.:
run C:\path\to\movefiles.cmd

and the movefiles.cmd contents can be like this
move C:\music\file1.mp3 C:\newfolder

Please note that moving a file will break any playlists or events that reference this file. Also, by default additional information is stored in a database and it will also be lost because path to file will change.

The idea is that the radioboss reads the location changes automatically... I know it can be done by cmd but automating from the radioboss would take away the headache of notifying the radioboss when a file has been moved

We don't want to encourage file moving in RadioBOSS, it's recommended to have files in a fixed locations, and assign Tags and other parameters for them. Moving a file is not reliable. There are really lots of places where the file is referenced by path: playlists, events, report files, it's also used in Track List to "remember" selection position - and this is not a full list.

One of the files can't be moved for some reason, it can be locked by some other software; also it can't be moved if it's playing in RadioBOSS.

La idea me parece buena. También estaría bien un comando para mover o copiar archivos desde el planificador. Para hacer cambios de ruta, programados desde la herramienta en la biblioteca de música

Uno de los archivos no se puede mover por alguna razón, puede estar bloqueado por otro software; tampoco se puede mover si se está reproduciendo en RadioBOSS.

Ok I closed everything and managed to move the folder file, now my question is how can I change the database path? Because I try to change it and it is blocked, it only allows selecting it.

I have another problem, I changed the PC and installed radioboss but restored the preferences from a backup... everything is fine but when trying to program a commercial remotely it gives me this error that is in the images, they already changed the commercials folder but it insists When the address of the old installation of the machine appears... what should I do?

Currently database path can't be changed, it only allows to select from the two options: shared and private location.

Try restarting the Ads Scheduler after changing the folder location.
