Launch iTunes
select Library in source column
select all Tracks (must be highlighted)
drag/move all those tracks in its window just a small amount with your mouse

now all broken links will be marked immediately

thanks Kay:
was speaking to Apple tech, and he was saying, that what be a great feature, have to tell the engineers...

It seems to work.

1) what makes that work?

2) why would they not show ever? it seems someone would always want to know/see any broken links, no? why do I have to do this?

3) also, I've deleted a song from library 5 times and keeps poppin up. does this software have mind of it's own?

-2 whithout touching a link a permanent update would use to much computing power
-3 maybe 🙂
