My old hard drive recently crashed. I had all my music stored on it. I purchased a new 1TB Western Digital drive and transferred all my files to the new drive (luckily I had backed my collection up a few weeks before). I added all the files to iTunes and then replaced the new library file with an old one that I saved when I backed everything up. My new drive had a different name than the old drive, but iTunes seemed to take care of that issue. However, yesterday I started getting messages that the original file could not be found. The issue goes away when I give my new drive the same name as the old one. It seems like the file path won't update for some reason. I'm not having any issues with stuff I added since acquiring the new drive. It seems to dynamically update (e.g. I can name my drive whatever I want and it finds the file). I'm wondering if it's a permissions issue, if it has something to do with the old library file, or maybe it's just a bug in Leopard. I would just add everything and start fresh with a new library file but I have over 25,000 songs, many of which are tagged improperly and I didn't feel like spending hours retagging them.
I know the simple solution would be to give the drive its old name and I have no problem doing that. I'm just wondering what's going on.
I'm running OS X 10.5.1 on an iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Thanks
