Q: After relocating my library from external hard drive back onto MacBook Air.. songs aren't "found"
I have 3,624 missing files.... and have the ! next to them. I've been finding 1 at a time.. but part of me wonders this:
* Can either just delete all my local library and just "start fresh" like with a new iPhone.. and therefore everything will start in the iCloud. If I want to download a playlist or album / burn a cd.. I can of course do that. So then I wouldn't be trying to find files tagged from the past.
OR
maybe just delete the place that indicates that I downloaded those tracks at some point... to my iTunes won't know to try to find them some place I downloaded them...
Just trying to avoid having to find all those tracks for the next 1-2-3 years.
If I'm totally off-base and there's some other direction I should go to correct this.. I'm all ears. I pay for "iTunes in the Cloud"... I'm sorry I'm unaware.. but is this a rebranding of the name "iTunes Music Match?"
Thanks,
David Murphy
