Hi guys,

I have a problem

I was forced to use iTunes (still eagerly awaiting MC support for iPod Photo), and I somehow managed to delete a collection of assorted tracks from my library.

These haven't been backed up, and I need to know what tracks are missing in order to reburn them from CDs.

Is there any way to make a playlist / smartlist of tracks that are still in the library, but are missing from the harddisk?

Thanks!

Lewis

Depending on how many tracks you have in your library, you can scroll theough them and look for the red x's in the first column...

Make a smartlist with this rule:

[=IsMissing([Filename])]=1

Thankyou both,

this doesn't seem to work (although it seemed like a good idea). It simply captures all of my 10,000 tracks in the smartlist

Any further advice greatly appreciated...

I'm using the latest version of MC 11 and I just tested the smartlist to make sure. I don't think MC 10 can do this.

Ah, so if I upgrade, it should work? I'll give it a go. Thanks Datdude!
