The only way I can think to move files across disks in iTunes and have<br>the references stay intact is to use the "Consolidate Library"<br>command. To do that, reset the iTunes Music Library location<br>(Preferences > Advanced > General) to where you want the files to go,
<br>then choose "Consolidate Library" from the Advanced menu, and all your<br>music will move there.</blockquote><div><br>I've tried that. I'm trying to move my library from one external Firewire drive to an external RAID1 setup. Doing the consolidate moved about 10% of the files and then crapped out with an error that said something about being able to read/write a drive. Repeated attempts to consolidate the library now die with the read/write error immediately. I don't think it's a problem with either drive since I can read and write from both of them. It may be that RAID is too slow to keep up with whatever iTunes is trying to do. I was hoping I could do a manual copy and then update all the locations via appscript. This having the advantage of allowing me to preserve metadata. I guess it's time to forget about the metadata since I'm not going to do the one-at-a-time location update from within iTunes.
