Moved songs into folders

I have a long list of songs saved in my documents some are finished others are not. So I decieded to tidy them up a bit and put them in to categories (folders) However, when reviewing the finished songs I noticed the audio was missing. Thankfully, I was able to do a search and allocate the audio and match it with the file (music).
 
I was playing through some songs to ensure that all audio and music were nicely linked together. I noticed on opening up a file that there was a stuttering sound, similar to when you get a drop out. On this occassion I was unable to play the file at all. I change the audio bit depth back to 16 to see if it would work and it still did not play. Other songs play audio through the left speaker and music through the right. This has happened ever since I put songs in different folders so I can have some sort of order and control over my saved music files.
 
If anyone knows why I am getting a stuttering or why some of my music is playing instrumental through the right speaker and only audio through the left since I made some changes I would like to know how to fix this? so suggestions are welcome.

Any Ideas?

I've used Cakewalk products since the 90's and am fairly old school. I do projects that encompass many songs all the time so I don't use the Per Projects Folders option. I set up an audio folder and all my work goes there for a certain group of songs. Currently I have many audio folders for many different groups of songs. If I try to open a song from a different directory I'll get the missing audio dialog and then have to change the Global Audio Directory in Preferences. When I do so, all is well.
It sounds to me like you may have parts of your audio data in different folders. Not sure though, I've never had the audio left and right issue before.

I strongly recommend using per project folders. It will make life a lot easier in the long run.
 
The way I have my projects setup is I have a Cakewalk Files folder on a data HD. There I have all my projects in their own folders.   
 
BTW because I have this setup this way I can copy or move the Cakewalk Files folder to any HD I choose and Sonar will open these projects without any issues. This makes backup a breeze. The only files I have ever had trouble with are ones that were not using per project folders. I have to reassign the audio folder for those. 

Same here John.
 
Great minds.....

They do because it was the only way in the distant past, Alex.

Tom, we did but not everyone reads this forum. 

"we did but not everyone reads this forum"
Hence the need for a white paper.
"force the per project option methinks"
I don't want to "force" anyone to do anything!
I just wish Rapture didn't "force" the installation of wav files to the C drive.
But that's OT...

Ah, Alex I still have projects with the old global audio folder. I don't want that to go unsupported. 

Exactly (agreed). That's the only use case I see right now, but no doubt somebody will come another soon?

Thanks for the info in this thread, you guys.
I'm finally getting a handle of some of this stuff.

I have called tech support so hopefully I can solve the problem however, I am a firm believer that if you lose files or files become corrupt that it is a sign that you are getting better so you move onward and upward.
