Changed file names, Will songkong still recognise them as matched?

[r5yk5]

I tagged my whole library with songkong. Since then the filenames and or paths have changed for some of the music but the tags haven’t. They have songkongid, acoustic fingerprint, mbids etc. Will songkong still recognise the files as matched if I run fix songs with “ignore previously matched” selected?

I would like to periodically run fixsongs on my library to catch anything added to mb or discogs since the last time. But I would like to leave all previously fixed tracks untouched so when I run rsync or sync with my cloud provider the data transfer is minimal.

What is the best way to do this?

Many thanks

Yes, it is based on checking songs for MusicBrainz Track Id, MusicBrainz Release Id and/or Discogs Release Url fields

On the Basic tab set For Songs already matched to Ignore
