recently added completely not working and other issues
1) Seems as though a lot of songs are missing. I keep searching in itunes only to find many did not transfer, so I go plug in the external and low an behold nope that file did not transfer. So I dump it in one by one. It's working when I do this why did it not do it yesterday? Don't understand why this happened now I have to rack my brain an try an find what didn't make it one by one out of about 7000 songs/tracks!
2) Seems I have a ton of duplicates?!! 1700 or more to be exact! Could this be why a lot of tracks are missing? Duplicates came over instead of certain tracks?
3) Now that I'm dumping tunes that are missing one by one, I need recently added to actually work, which it is not. Even though I've already deleted it, added a new smart playlist, made the proper rules: date added, is in the last, 1 day(s), and limit to: 25 items, selected by: most recently added. Checked "match only checked items" and unchecked live updating (actually I've tried every combo and it still does it) IT STILL gives me random 25 songs no matter what and NOT the most recently added.
Any help would be appreciated. Should I just toss the itunes folder and start again?
