I have forgotten the keyboard combination in iTunes 5 which on startup allows you to rebuild your library etc. I've searched around and can't find it anywhere. Any Ideas?

Thanks

you could just delete (or backup/move) the music library file, that way when you launch itunes it will be rebuilt.
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.

Why would you rebuild the library? What does it do?

I deleted a bunch of podcasts from my library and did not delete the files. Now I want to rebuild the library so I can delete the old podcasts. As of iTunes 4.9 or 5 Apple put in a key combo at startup which provides you a menu to rebuild the library and a bunch of other options.
