Changing songfile path

Question

next problem, i cleaned my document folder and changed the file path now the program does not find the songs anymore, so do i have to manually enter each and every song, all 3.4 days ?

Answer 1

Please forgive the lengthy response - I'm a little unclear on what you mean when you say you changed the file path (what program did you use to change what file path?) and about your current situation in general.
Please note the files iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl, which contain information about playlists, song ratings etc, seem always to be located wherever My Docs\My Music\iTunes is located. That is, no matter where your music or library is located, those two files always seem to end up there. So if you told Windows that My Docs is now located somewhere else, it may be that iTunes is now looking to that alternate location for those two files. I myself changed the location of those two files by changing the location of the special folder "My Music" using a program called TweakUI. You could open iTunes, close it, then run a search for those two files. If more than one set comes up, see which one is the most recent and you'll have figured out what iTunes is currently using for those two files.
Because of the uncertainty, I'd recommend making a copy of the My Music folder before proceeding.
It sounds like if you used the iTunes command File>>Add folder to Library, you would be able to tell iTunes to look for music in the folder that currently contains your music.
Perhaps you'd want to go into the preferences for iTunes and make sure that the Advanced tab shows the proper folder location for the iTunes Music folder.
That will change the default location that iTunes uses to store music.
Lastly there have been several posts by people more knowledgable than myself about using the consolidate library function to help organize/move the library. Run a search for those to see what I mean.
I hope that helps.
