How do I remove the files that have been moved/changed from the music library?

ie. the files with the exclamation marks.

 

[JimmyK]

right click on the file u want to remove from the list - and click clear
if u wanna select multiple files hold Ctrl - then click on the files you want and then do the above!

This sounds perfect, but unfortunately is not free :S I'm not sure how you can do it otherwise without clearing the library and starting again.

acctually i found it fixes everything when i closed itunes as started it again.

stupid itunes can't play WMA damn format wars

My itunes (4.7.1) plays WMA's!!!! - converting them to mp3/acc is an option though.

i got 4.7.1 and it keeps asking me to convert

hmm.. strange.. i seem to remember that itunes did play wma's.. but i converted them all to mp3s anyway so i can put them on my ipod.. maybe im getting confused with somthing wrong.
if the files you wanna get rid of are duplicates (similar song titles etc) you can use the 'Show Duplicate Songs' tool avaliable from the Edit menu - this might help you, but I'm not sure!

i've given up on itunes, back to WMP10 [dispite snail search]

itunes really sucks in some aspects.... i hope it is fixed in 5.0

 

[JimmyK]

what made u switch back to itunes.. im just curious - cause i love it! and think media player is a pain in the backside.. except for viewing mpeg's

- I can't make an auto playlist that will list recently added files [auto playlists are generally less featureful]
- can't play WMA
- if convert to Mp3, it will create a new copy each time you add the file to library (wtf...?)
- can't sync library to a folder, ie if files are moved the move is detected
- no advanced tag editor
- no stop button? [dosen't really matter since i got media keyboard, but strange]

Yes you can - make a smart play list .. and use the 'Date Added' option that contains songs within the past X days!

- can't play WMA
- if convert to Mp3, it will create a new copy each time you add the file to library (wtf...?)

It does that so you dont loose your wma files incase you have a media device that only plays wmas (unlikely i know).

- - can't sync library to a folder, ie if files are moved the move is detected

- - no advanced tag editor

I'm not sure what you mean by advanced.. but if u click and then click again (not quite double click) on the portion of the tag u wanna edit (eg title, artist etc) and then type in what you want. You can adjust the colums accordingly to the degree of information you want to know about the tracks in your list.

- - no stop button? [dosen't really matter since i got media keyboard, but strange]

press space bar to stop and start the song! the pause/play button does exactly the same thing - i guess there is no real need for a stop button... if you wanna go back to the start of a song.. use your left arrow key!

yeah how do you make itunes sync to a folder, such as you shared folder for p2p progz, so that when it is updated it automatically updates in your itunes library??

Also while i am here, how do i make it so that when i hook my shuffle to another computer with itunes it doesnt automatically format the drive???

thanks

yeah, but you can only type in date, not last X days.

It does that so you dont loose your wma files incase you have a media device that only plays wmas (unlikely i know).

yeah, but if you add a folder a 2nd time, you get 2 copies, 3 times, 3copies, etc...
it doesn't detect that it has already make a copy.

I'm not sure what you mean by advanced.. but if u click and then click again (not quite double click) on the portion of the tag u wanna edit (eg title, artist etc) and then type in what you want. You can adjust the colums accordingly to the degree of information you want to know about the tracks in your list.

the one in media player displays the selected songs in a pane on the left, very useful.

press space bar to stop and start the song! the pause/play button does exactly the same thing - i guess there is no real need for a stop button... if you wanna go back to the start of a song.. use your left arrow key!

[JimmyK]

just so u know.. you can actually make a recently added with the last X days.. because I've got it on my list!!
What i've got is:
Date Added > is in the last > 7 > days
and ive got live updating checked
