oops! running itunes 2.0.4 with mac os 9.2.2...

i moved my entire mp3 library to an external drive, and then back to my powerbook. now, everytime i open itunes, i get that "!" next to a lot of songs, showing that they are not found.

any way to fix this, other than placing all the songs from their source folders into the itunes window? (thus losing my renaming, eq setting, etc etc)


????



thanx

Go to:

Edit>Preferences (or command+y)>Advanced

change the Music Folder Location to where it resides on your PowerBook.

That should do it.


revision:
I accidentally typed "File" instead ot "Edit"
I am stupidest when I try to be funny.
