[X4U] Re: iTunes consolidation

[Kevin Lee Allen]

I believe that is how it is supposed to work and I believe that is how=20=

it has worked for me in the past, but that is not working, this time.

I expect there to be issues with music bought from the iTunes store and=20=

that is not what I am addressing.

Clicking on Consolidate Library add the exclamation point icon, double=20=

clicking on one of those songs allows me to find the song, but iTunes=20
then does not see the rest of the songs in the folder. So, where I=20
believe I had this problem before, iTunes was able to then find the=20
other parts of the library stored on that drive, every song must be=20
located.
