Ok, I'm sure this is simple, but I am lost. My 2 1/2 year old mac has been acting up, and I wanted to do a clean install of OSX 10.6.

I made sure I backed up Time Machine a final time, as well as dragged and dropped my itunes music folder to another network hard drive.

I formated the HD and reinstalled everything, and then I went into time machine to import My Music folder. So far, so good.

When I open up iTunes, it saw my playlists and then populated it, and I can see all of my music, but everything has the ! mark in front of it. When I try to play anything it says The Original File Cannot Be Found. Would you like to find it?

I checked, and everything is in My Music folder is a folder called Amazon MP3 and that is where all of my music is. Is there any easy way to make my library point to the music there? I know I can just reimport everything but then I loose my playlists, ratings, etc.

Thanks for the help!
