I recently decided to clean up my music,(too many multiples) My library was at about 40,000 songs(the true number is around 13,000, songs in multiples many times over) so I consolidated all of my music onto one external hard drive, then used mac keeper to find multiples and delete them, I wiped iTunes and My mac of all music, then had iTunes read the external hard drive to rebuild the library, I open SSL and all songs are pink (which is expected) but when I try to relocate lost files it doesn't find them even when its searching the hard drive, I did have a handful of songs in the iTunes tab in SSL but no where near whats in the library, I saw a suggestion about renaming The xml file so I renamed it to OLDItuneslibray.xml and now it can't find iTunes, What I ended up doing is going to files onSSL and dragging and dropping the file that contains all my music. now I have the database of white but a whole crapload of pink songs and no iTunes. What I want essentially is to use iTunes to create and add songs to SSL(easier to keep organized) What should I have done in this situation and how do I achieve it now?
