Server Version#: 4.140.1  
Player Version#:  
My setup:  
NUC11 Intel 11th Gen i7.  
I had my Plex Music stored on a WD My Book external drive. D:\ Music  
I added an SSD drive to the NUC. I plugged into a thunderbolt port. E:\ Music.  
I copied the music from D drive to E drive. (E & D are now identical)  
I removed the reference to the D:\ Music on my PMS and added the E:\ Music.  
Now my 66 playlists are all empty.  
How can I utilize my playlists again?

Stop Plex server

Restore the Plex database from before the switchover. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/)

Assign the drive letter D: to the new SSD.
