I have a problem where I have changed the folders of some songs. It seems tedious to have to readd it and delete the old file from engine. Is there anyway to do this quicker and delete the red files all at once instead if one by one or just point the red file to the correct location and keep the cues?

No way to relocate missing files
on mac:
open Terminal
cd Music/Engine\ Library/Database2
sqlite3 m.db
SELECT id, title, artist, path FROM Track WHERE title = "the track you want to move";
Example output:

Write down the track ID you found. In the example below it’s 666:
UPDATE Track SET path = "../iTunes/newtracklocation.mp3" WHERE id = "666";
.quit
