Right, here is the problem
My i-tunes library loses things. It's a forgetful piece of crap.
This does not effect my actual i-pod, ie I can plug it in and it wont erase tracks that the library has lost, but I cant actually listen to tracks without "locating" them first.
I have a computer and an external hard drive where I back everything up to.
The external hard drive is where all the cd's are now stored.
The drive in the computer is where I tend to store files I've downloaded until I clear them out to the external drive when the one in the computer gets full. So when the CD's were first put into i-tunes they were in the D drive for examplie but I've since moved them to the external F drive cos the D drive got full.
If a track or a set gets "lost" I-Tunes asks me if I want to locate it - so I type in the name in a box and it locates it.
Normally if I want to listen to a single 3 hour set or whatever, it's easy to locate, but when you've downloaded loads of CD's and the computer cant find 80% of the songs in your entire library it's a pain in the arse.
Sooooooo, is there anyway of saying to the i-tunes library..... "THEY'VE ALL MOVED YOU DUMB f**k, GO LOOK IN THE EXTERNAL DRIVE, YOU'LL FIND ALL OF THEM THERE" instead of me having to locate each and every sodding track individually.
Because that is a tedious task indeed.
