[QUOTE="Edwin, post: 826119, member: 88402"] FOR ALL OF YOU HAVING ISSUES: try recreating a new library, i've had a couple calls regarding this issue and this has been the fix! here's what you must do: 1. if itunes is open make sure you close the program so it is no longer running! 2. go to your itunes folder (default location is in my music) and locate two files. File 1 is itunes music library.xml file. File 2 is itunes library.itl file( if it does not say .itl at the end it will be the ONLY file in the itunes folder called itunes library) 3. after you locate those two files drag your itunes music library.xml file to your desktop. after you put the xml file on the desktop, delete the itunes library.itl file (must make sure you delete the correct one) 4. after you've done step 3, [B]HOLD SHIFT[/B] while you double click on itunes logo, it will bring up a window asking you to recreate library (or something along those lines) after you choose to create [B]NEW LIBRARY[/B] itunes will now open w/ nothing in it, after it is open go to File>library>import playlist and then locate the itunes music library.xml file you put on your desktop and choose that file and then open it, after this is done add your music folder to library and you should be good to go please post up if this worked/didn't work for you and then i'll see what needs to be done after that :D :D :D [/QUOTE]
