Need help to locate music file

When I click ona song to play a message appears stating that file can not be found due to being deleted or moved. Then it asks do you want to locate the file?

I do not know how to find what I am looking for after I answer yes

Locating missing files in Music Is there any quick way to locate all files in Music that have an exclamation mark by them? Music is telling me that it couldn't find 5 files but I have a very large music collection and sifting through every song to find the ones with exclamation marks is not going to be an enjoyable task. If there's a quicker way to do it than looking through all my songs that'd be amazing. I'm on Monterey 12.6.1

MP3 files still in Computer after using delete files and emptying the trash Hello, I recently updated my music library to higher bit rates and deleted the lower bit rates in my iTunes library by using the "move to trash" option and I went to empty the trash bin for permanent deletion and executed by emptying the trash. Thinking that the lower bit rate music was deleted, I had checked one song and clicked it in the "Finder" so it would play in the library.... that song I deleted was still there along with the newer song I recently put in. All the songs that I have deleted and trashed are still in the "Finder" months later, so is there a simple way of finding the lower bit rate 128 and 160 etc music that was deleted and trashed without entering the music back to the library and just finding the files in question in the "Finder" this will really help me, Thank you
