Renaming folders (not the library folder)
I have a huge music library and many playlists in iTunes. Over time, I changed the names of a few of my folders (eg, from "Seventies" to "70s"). iTunes maintained links to a lot of the files, but has lost track of many more. IIf I change the folder name back to the old name, iTunes sees the lost files but loses others.
The iTunes DB is not a text file, so I couldn't edit it. I did change the file locations in the library xml file (ie, edited the document), but iTunes just changes the references back to the bad locations when I click on the songs.
Is there a way to rename a folder that contains iTunes tracks and not have iTunes lose the files or to tell the iTunes Library that the folder name has changed?
