iTunes on pc

When iTunes cannot find a song it is because the file for that song is not where iTunes expects it to be. However, we probably need more detail about the precise nature of the issue before we can remedy the problem.

Are these songs that iTunes has previously been able to play, or that you added a while ago? If so, this means that the files for the songs are no longer where they were originally. This is probably because the files (or the paths to the files) have been moved, renamed or deleted from the original that iTunes knew about.

If these are songs that you have just added but iTunes cannot find them, did you move, rename or delete the files?

Well at least you know how to fix the issue if it occurs again.

As stated though, if iTunes cannot play a song it was previously playing, the explanation is that the file for that song is no longer where it was when you told iTunes to add it to its database, or it or the path have bene renamed.
