Once I downloaded the latest update to itunes all of u sudden 1,700 songs cannot be located.

I spent countless hours editing the tags and now not only are 1,700 songs unable to be located, but those same songs reverted to their original tags.

I do have both the "Keep itunes organized" and "Consolidate files in itunes media" options selected in the advanced preferences tab.

I am running itunes 11.1.3.8 on my HP Pavillion with Windows 7 x64.

Please Help!!! Thanks!

The Windows version of iTunes has some differences from that of the Mac version so I don't know if I can be of much help. I don't run iTunes in Windows 7....

Make sure your iTunes library hasn't been moved is the first thing I would check. I also updated my Mac version of iTunes to 11.1.3.8 and it didn't disturb the tags or songs.

You may be able to revert to an older library. Look for a folder named "Previous iTunes Libraries". Better yet if you've been keeping up with making backups. Windows 7 backup is easy to use. ;)
