'!' on iTunes why?

[Geddes]

On iTunes there's a '!' in between the track number and name and i can't listen to allot of my tracks, why is it there and how do i fix this issue?

 

[Sanders]

It can't find the track/s have you moved them to another folder?

 

[Andy.]

Normally it's because the files don't exist on the drive anymore, but are still in the Library. Open the file location from iTunes and check that they are still listed.

It means iTunes can't find the track.

have you been moving you music around?

 

[Geddes]

allot of the songs were on my EHDD but it's not plugged in, is that why?

 

[Andy.]

Yep, that would do it.

 

[Christopher]

Yep. It can't locate the sources.

Restart iTunes with your remote disk connected and it'll all be fine.
