I think my header files are broken on approx. 3000 songs (.m4a). I imported a bunch of songs into another program and pretty much an estimated 1 of every 3 files aren't working any longer... Not sure how bad the damage is yet! Any advice other than delete all the songs would be appreciated, since I purchased the majority of them and don't have the cd's for the rest anymore...

Hey Andy,
I know this is an old thread, but I recently ran into a similar issue and wanted to see if you found a solution. I don't know if the other software you mentioned is MediMonkey, but thats what has caused me issues. If you could provide any advice, please let me know. Thanks!!
Sincerely,
Kevin
This solution worked for me: http://sysfrontier.com/en/2014/12/31/hello-world/
It is Windows only with the software linked to it, but I used Parallels on my MAC, and it worked like a charm. Even if you can't use Windows, you might be able to see what he's suggesting here and find MAC alternatives.
Time Machine would only help you in the future. Is your Mac set up with Time Machine? If so you should be able to get the deleted files that way. Click the Time Machine icon in the dock. Then go back to before you deleted the files, they are probably still available. f you don't have a Time Machine backup yet, then your best option would probably be uFlysoft Data Recovery for Mac
Help fixing broken m4a files!
