Moving my library to a different device (local network NAS). How to maintain my Rekordbox library and tracks?
I have my music library (around 500gb) stored locally on my MacBook.
I have just built my first home server using Unraid for the OS, and want to fully migrate my library to the Unraid server, and remove all my local files.
I use Swinsian as my laptop's music player and for basic tagging, MusicBrainz Picard for some other tagging, and Rekordbox as my DJ export software.
I obviously have a bunch of different playlists set up in both Swinsian and Rekordbox that I want to maintain when making this switch. However, I am worried that moving to the mounted server volume as my storage location will result in:
1. The tracks in all my different playlists in Swinsian disappearing, due to the library now existing on a different full path.
2. The same happening in Rekordbox, as well as all the other tagging properties I assigned to the local versions of the tracks (e.g. cue points) not transferring over to the mounted volume files, and generally not considering the mounted files as the same files as the originals.
Is there a way of avoiding these issues?

If you want to move the music files to other drive, move the music files then execute Relocate Missing Tracks.
We cannot advise for other third party software.
