Torq 1.5 User Guide Chapter 1 56Torq 1.5 User Guide Chapter 9 56< Activating a Playlist
When you select a Playlist, Torq runs a quick scan of your computer’s drives to e nsure all the audio files
referenced by the Playlist are present on the comp uter. If Torq cannot locate one or more of the songs from the
Playlist (possibly because the drive con taining the song is no longer connected to the co mputer, or the source
file has been deleted), a pop-up d ialog will appear with the following mess age: “Cannot find one or more of the
files used in this Playlist. What would you like t o do?” You will then have a choice of clicking one of the following
buttons.
» Ignore: Clicking this button will a llow the Playlist to load, however all missing songs will be di splayed in
red in the File List window.
» Auto-scan: Clicking this butto n will cause Torq to search all hard drives connected to your computer
in an attempt to find the missing file(s). If a file is found wi th the same name but in a different loc ation,
another dialog box will appear with t he following message: “Would you like to use this file for [name of
missing file]?”
1. By choosing “Yes,” Torq will use the file and automatically assume that t he rest of the missing files will
also be in this same folder. Once found, these files will au tomatically be loaded. If the other mi ssing
files are not in this location, Torq will continue searching t he computer until another file is found.
2. Choosing “No” will allow the search to con tinue for another possible file in a differen t location.
3. If the search completes without find ing the proper file, a dialog box will appear wi th the following
message: “Cannot find [name of missing file].” When you click “OK” Torq will display th e file in red in
the File List, indicating that t he song cannot be played. If there are other files to se arch for, the search
process will continue.
» Manu al: Clicking this button will open a standard operating system d ialog box that will allow you to manually
search for the audio file on your hard drive(s). Although you are searchi ng for a specific missing file, it is
possible to select any audio file to be used in it s place. If you choose a file that is different t han the missing file
shown in the File List, the ID3 tag info for t he new file will be shown (in the Playlist) in place of the origi nal
song.
