A topic from Technology: iPod, MP3 and Digital Music Tech

laresThu 15/05/08 16:48		One of my external hard drives seems to have died. Fortunately, I've got everything backed up so I've not lost anything but until the budget allows for a replacement I want to access all my mp3s on iTunes. The folders of the failed drive are all duplicated on my C drive (C:\music\disk1, etc). Is there anyway I can tell iTunes to look at the C drive instead of the other drive (in this case the dead drive was H). Or do I have to get rid of all the songs and reimport them all to iTunes?

laresThu 15/05/08 21:11		quoting > "If the songs are already there, why do you want to add them again?" Because iTunes can't find them (it's looking at the dead drive) and all the playlists, etc. cant find the music for real any more).
#202651Thu 15/05/08 22:10		OK - just delete the stuff that's currently in your library and then use the Import command to re-import the backup.
