Lots of Info on iPods

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

[Mentat],

There’s a list that I’m active on, which discusses iPods at length — especially the new 4th generation talking iPod. See the link below if interested: http://www.freelists.org/archive/blindipod

Also, there’s a podcast episode that demonstrates the talking iPod. It’s located at: http://www.hartgen.org/02-nano.mp3

Enjoy,
Tom

Missing Tracks in iTunes from Renaming

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Also, if you rename a music file in Windows Explorer but do not update this in iTunes, you’ll get this error the next time you attempt to play the song with iTunes. This is akin to moving the file.

There is also the possibility that if you have your iTunes library stored on an external drive, and then you plug another removable drive into your computer, such as a Victor Reader Stream for example, the drive letter to your music may change without you realizing it.

Try verifying that the drive letter has not changed since you imported your music.

Missing Files in iTunes

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Did you actually resolve this problem? If so, how? If not by finding the file on your hard drive, and then updating the link in the iTunes library to it, in what way did you stop this error?

I’ve see this error many times myself, and in every case it was due to the music file being moved or deleted. I’ve fixed this by answering yes when iTunes asks me if I want to locate the file. When I did, the error disappeared.

If you moved or deleted the files for the songs in your iTunes library, you’ll get this message. You’ll also get it if you changed the drive letter of the hard drive where your music is located.
