Lost Metadata vs. Consolidation
Authored by: nickv2002 on Jun 18, '08 03:37:57PM

If this process looses date added as described, aren't you loosing that metadata? Perhaps it isn't important in your case but by using consolidate library you can preserve it. This hint only seems important if there is some reason iTunes must not organize your files, which seems pretty fringe.

Bottom line, stick with consolidate in most cases.

Lost Metadata vs. Consolidation

There is a script on Dougscripts.com called Copy Tag Info Tracks to Tracks which could easily be used to recopy the Date Added data over, or any data for that matter, as long as you can sort each corresponding file in the same order.
