music not in default folder - iTunes 7.7 upgrade - now missing songs
I couldn't find the exact answer to my problem, so I'm posting a new topic. If there's a solution, please direct me to the post.
Basically, my music is located on a secondary drive, I upgraded to 7.7 and now the music appears to be missing when I open iTunes. I decided I better check on the boards before I do something stupid and lose all my settings, artwork, etc.
My original and new music folder is : M:\iTunes\iTunes Music
The original iTunes Library files are located in the default location: C:\Users\Jeff\Music
After the upgrade, I now have an iTunes folder and library files on the secondary drive: M:\iTunes\iTunes Music\iTunes. The "Previous iTunes Library" folder is also located here.
Also, in Vista there are what I think are called virtual or alias folders under the Desktop icon in Windows Explorer. In any case, there are now TWO Music folders (or aliases named "Music"). The first points to M:\iTunes\iTunes Music where the MP3's still exist. The second points to C:\Users\Jeff\Music where the old library files still exist. I didn't remember seeing this before but maybe it's always been this way.
What do I need to do so that I can restore my music without losing my favorites, playlists, and most importantly my artwork?
Thank you! Jeff
