[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1643755, member: 131855"] Yes That's possible. I've done it before but I recommend you back up the media folder first. When I did this last I did the following: 1. Select all of the music in your iTunes library. 2. Delete the links in iTunes but [B]do not[/B] delete the files. 3. Now choose "Add to Library" from the iTunes File menu. 4. ITunes will recreate the links to the current files. My library is about the size of yours and it can take a while for it to finish. On my 2008 MB Pro it takes about two hours. Maybe a bit longer. I don't remember if some things were in the wrong place. Videos importing as home video when they were actually music video clips saved from somewhere. [/QUOTE]
