Moved Songs, Need Help Matching them up the fast Way

Question

Hi,
Recently i organised my "ITunes Music Folder" with different genre's of music to help me keep it organised because i seemed to never be able to find anything. Once i had moved all my music into various genre folders and then artist folders within them i knew what i dreaded was coming. I didn't wanna have to inport all the files again from the new location because then it would lose "The Play Count" and have ive named them in ITunes. So i have been doing this.
Clicking on song then right clicking "Get Info" then Yes. then My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name > Then eventully finding the song.
This is a extrememly slow process when you have over 2000 songs to match up and i remember a long time ago although i forgot say if your matching up a album instead of going into My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name again it would allready be in the last place i was at so i could just click the song so matching a album would be much faster then going through the long way.
The problem is when i match up the song now i have to go through My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name every time.
Any Advice or help is greatly Appreciated.

Nicko102,
There is not a fast way to match them up when you have changed the folder structure that iTunes uses to organize its database folder of iTunes songs.
However, if you reimport them, while you will lose play count, the names you have assigned the songs in iTunes is written to the file's ID tags, and should be retained.
Hope this helps,
