Missing Tracks Shipped

Move a folder in Finder, rename a drive, or reorganise your music once, and Serato loses the thread. Tracks show as cannot be located, and everything attached to them — cues, loops, beat grid, play count, crate membership — goes with them.

Missing Tracks scans your library for references that no longer resolve, then looks for where each file went. Fixes are applied per-track, only when you say so.

Missing Tracks

What it does

• Full library scan. Every unresolved reference in database V2 and in your crates, in one list.
• Candidate matching. Likely new locations are found by filename and file size, so a moved or renamed file can be reconnected.
• Explicit fixes only. Nothing is repaired silently. You apply each fix, and anything ambiguous is reported rather than guessed at.
• Repairs in place. The existing library row is re-pointed instead of being replaced, so cues, beat grids and crate membership survive the repair.
• Review crate. Send whatever could not be resolved to a crate so you can work through it inside Serato later.
• Bulk repair from the CLI. For a library knocked badly out of sync by an old move, EZLibraryCLI repair-locations does the same job across thousands of entries at once.

How to use it

1. Mount your drives

   Anything on external storage has to be connected, or its tracks look missing when they are not.

2. Scan

   Run the scan from the Missing Tracks tab and let it finish.

3. Review candidates

   Each missing track shows the file EZLibrary believes it now points to. Confirm the ones that look right.

4. Apply, then check in Serato

   Apply the fixes with Serato closed, then reopen Serato and confirm the tracks resolve.
