One solution for iTunes 'can't find file' problems
Authored by: barefootguru on Dec 01, '06 11:32:00AM

From my experience, if iTunes can't find a track it always searches the current library.

If I launch iTunes without my external drive mounted, the tracks appear with an exclamation mark. I don't even quit iTunes, just mount the drive and reset the iTunes Music folder location. iTunes does a scan of the library and finds all the songs.

This is also a handy way to move tracks between my two music volumes: move the files in the Finder, then change the iTunes Music folder location to the destination volume.

I wish Apple would bring proper support for music libraries across multiple volumes.

Hmm, that's exactly what I want it to do, but for me, it doesn't.
