I used an EZ Vinyle tape converter years ago to get my music into itunes. Now when I try to play them the message says i have to locate them. I don't know where to go from there.

19147,


That "can't locate" message occurs when the audio file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed, or deleted. If you remember doing that, put it back the way it was.


If not, use a Finder search to see if the audio files are somewhere else on your drive, or in the Trash.


If they are just plain gone, get copies from your last good backup and re-add to your library.
