Thank you! Huge help!

The problem with that analogy is that the Apple Store is also selling you the shelving to store your CD's on. When the shelving collapses and destroys the CD's you purchased what is your recourse?

I have taken to copying all of my media to an external before using an internal copy to sync with my phone just because of reasons like this. I have had nothing but difficulty in utilizing my phone when my company forced me from another platform that integrated well with Windows. I'm sure some here will say that is the problem but I won't be making PC changes anytime soon for work and I'm talking to IT now about making Android an option for all of us.

I searched so many sites for an answer to my problems around why music that I had purchased wasn't accessible on my iPhone. This response from Don Eccles finally helped me identify the issue - I luckily had a back-up of all my previous music purchased and could then, using his advice, link each individual song on iTunes library which wouldn't play and wouldn't transfer to iPhone, to the songs in the back-up folder. Thanks much !!!

I have went to the preferences/advanced after reading all of this and I cannot locate where my music truly is. Ive looked for the name and I cant find it ive looked for the info iTunes gives for it and I cant locate it anywhere...Please help 😟 running on a PC and every song of mine has a ! next to it. It was on my computer last i was on it. Which was about a year ago. But i havent done anything to it to make it disapear. There is a random file that says Previous Itunes Librairies. And I thought i found where the location was but it was some folder that linked me to online with alllllllll of this code stuff... I have no idea what Im doing and i need help!! the link thing it gave me was C:\Users\Raven Malone\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
