Hi Nonvartium,

does Mixxx really crash? If yes, please provide the tail of your /home/<user>/.mixxx/mixxx.log.

The "Music Directory" is only the root directory of the library scanner. Changing this setting does not instantly change any track in your library. However there is an uncommitted patch in Bug #239883 relating to tracks outside the "Music Directory"

If you want to have new initial scan, you can simply rename the /home/<user>/.mixxx/mixxxdb.sqlite or the entire .mixxx folder.

These is also a Bug #898487 for changing the .mixxx folder via command line.

Can you describe your use case? What was your reason for changing library location?

If you like to test the mentioned bugs, you may try: http://builds.mixxx.org/builds/experimental-daschuers_trunk/mixxx_1.11.0-alpha-0ubuntu1~daschuer~daschuers-trunk~bzr2955_amd64.deb but don't forget to backup your .mixxx folder first.
