Every time I sync my ipod, itunes flags up 5 or 6 songs that it apparently cannot locate.
I automatically have itunes copy all new songs to its folder (consolidate), and usually the songs lost are old/not-very-listened to ones (i have about 100GB of music on there). A couple of times it has been the same ones.
So, I type the name into spotlight and immediately find the file, re-add it to itunes and delete the old "cannot be found" link. Every time this happens, the file turns out to be in the correct itunes folder (artist>album>song) though.
This is no real stress, takes a couple of minutes, but I don't understand why. And how can I stop this happening? I don't think I should have to maintain my music collection, surely once a file is copied into the right place (by itunes itself) it should remember it, shouldn't it?
I should add that I don't use any other software that might move or rename files, or an external hard drive.
