Thanks for the help Tom. I will try to work through these.
Filename problems seem like the worst. Some of this is legacy issue stuff. There used to be an arbitrary 45 character limit on filenames. Now that limit is 200, so I don't see a problem there. But checking just now in the database, there are 47 songs in there that are incorrectly tagged. I will fix these, and they should work again. (The filenames were truncated, and .mp3 was added to the actual file, but in the database it just show the truncated file without the .mp3 - that's why you are getting 404s.)
[...]
Okay, that went pretty well. I believe I fixed all the filename problems except in the following cases:
4 : grand_drive-_a_little_like_youi
88 : boards_of_canada_happy_cycling
88 : Biff_Naked-I_love_myself_toda
88 : Jeff_Buckley-Grace-06-Hal
88 : Jeff_Buckley-Grace-06-Hal
These files have entries in the database but do not appear to exist in any form in the filesystem. The first one is Dave's and the other 4 are Sally's. Is there an explanation for this that doesn't involve the software having lost these?
