hmmm, I don't have this problem
Authored by: baronworm on Jul 20, '04 04:13:12PM

I have observed that itunes (I'm running version 4.6, I'm not sure if this is true of older versions) will automatically "reattach" a track that it had previously marked as missing, if that track suddenly reappears in its original location.

For example, if I have try to play a track that itunes can't find because it's on an external firewire drive that hasn't powered up yet, I can do the following:

(1) click "cancel" when itunes asks if I want to try and find the missing track
(2) power up the external drive that holds the missing track
(3) double-click this track in itunes (which now has a "!")
(4) itunes finds the track, and the "!" is gone

HTH
