Exporting list of missing or dead links from iTunes

Question

If you have more than 500 songs in iTunes, sooner or later, you will end up with missing, broken or dead links.
Unlike some who address this issue, I genuinely have missing songs, so wish to export a list so I can then re-import them.
Itunes dupes barrier will create a list of “dead” tracks, but I cannot export it.
I don’t want to remove the broken links until I have decided if I still want the songs or not.
Any ideas?

Nearly 10,000 tracks in my iTunes library and I have NEVER had that issue. Perhaps your statement should be something like, if you start messing around with your folders and files and moving them around, renaming them, etc. outside of iTunes without knowing what you are doing, then you will end up with dead links and missing files. That would probably be more accurate.

"Itunes dupes barrier" ??? I assume you mean the Show Duplicates function? If so, then when you get that list, all you have to do is a Select All then open your favorite spreadsheet and paste the list in. Everything will line up in nice columns and rows. You can paste into a word processor or text edited as well, but it may be a bit jumbled in the formatting.
