Songs "can't be found" in iTunes
But when I choose an Artist and Album in iTunes, and then click on the first track to play it, in about 75% of cases I get a dialog telling me that the track cannot be played because the original file cannot be found. If I accept the offer to locate it, I can always do so by choosing folder names to match the Artist and Album name, and then choosing the right track. And iTunes does remember the track location after that. But with about 500 albums, you can imagine how much I wish to do this in order to relocate about 8,000 individual tracks, one by one (locating one track on an album does not locate any of the others, as far as I can tell). Is there anything I can do to automate this process, and any explanation for what's gone wrong? If I connect my iPod to add recently purchased tracks to it, what happens to all the tracks that "can't be found"?
I'm currently using iTunes 8.0.2.20
