[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1032605, member: 131855"] It appears you have already tried one of the things I was going to suggest so that is out of the question. Here is something that just occurred to me though it might be worth making a second copy of the music on your external hard drive just in case something goes horribly wrong. 1. Launch iTunes and go to Preferences and Advanced. Set the music folder location to [B]where you want the music to be when this process is done.[/B]. 2. Check the boxes that say "Keep the iTunes Music Folder Organized' and "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when importing". I think that will be the important one. 3. Close the preferences, go to the iTunes File Menu and choose "Add to Library". Now find the folder with the music on your external drive and let itunes add it to the library. With a large library this could take a while. When the process is done things should be restored. [/QUOTE]
