Hi Neil, I have had this happen to me also but in my case it was with a music album. There may be a more elegant way to do it but in the end I deleted the songs from iTunes without deleting the media itself and then added the songs back to the iTunes Library using the menu item "File => Add to Library..."
For a less destructive solution, here is an Apple Knowledge Base article on that very subject. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468 Cheers, Carlo On 2011-07-29, at 15:13, Neil Houghton wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm hoping one of the iTunes gurus might be able to help me here. > > I was thinking of stretching the grey matter by trying out some of the > podcast language learning series.
