Hi, I have a 200+GB music library and this afternoon I was playing some of it using the great “Up Next” feature and when I added one song as the next song, iTunes playback stopped when it got to that song and couldn’t find the track to play back. On further inspection, there were quite a few songs with the “!” alongside indicating iTunes couldn’t locate the file. When I traced a particular example of this, I found the folder in Finder. It was in a folder called "Fleetwood Mac-1”. It was obviously a folder which iTunes had relabelled during a previous operation perhaps years ago so I am probably the cause of this all. Sitting beneath “Fleetwood Mac-1” were 6 albums which upon further checking a number of songs in there were also not mapped in iTunes properly. I did a “Add to Library” at the “Fleetwood Mac-1” level hence capturing everything subordinate to that folder address. In the process I probably caused some duplicates of some songs - but I am ok with that.
In any case, is there a way to do a full reverse looking of everything in my “Music” root folder to see that every file has a linkage to a file that iTunes thinks exists? A forward looking check may not necessarily ensure every iTunes record has a file it is mapped to. Not sure if I made that clear but I hope someone can assimilate with the issue I’ve got here. Thanks. Pete
