Re-uploading deleted music back to Google Music

This is for Google Music running on Linux server, editing the SQLite database in Windows.

You'll need http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/ to edit the SQLite database in Windows
Google Music config files are found in ~/.config/google-musicmanager/
Ensure Google Music is not running in the background

Open ServerDatabase.db in SQLite Browser.
Browse Data Tab. Select XFILES in the Table drop down.

Find your album. It's tracks (if already uploaded) should have a MusicUploadStatus of 2. Edit the tracks you need re-uploaded to 0. Save and exit. Reopen Google Music and it should re-upload those tracks.
Once the tracks have been re-uploaded, you may need it to exit and re-open Google Music in order to continue uploading the remaining tracks.
Tracks with a MusicUploadStatus of 6 are tracks that won't be uploaded due to your account having reached its limit of 20,000 tracks.
