bigbadbill, you rock! I tried your first suggestion, and it worked beautifully.
Just to make it clear for the "listening audience" out there - I selected "Library" in the iTunes "Source" window. Then I typed Command-A (for select all), then Command-Delete. Since I had already copied my MP3s from the volume I wished to delete them to my target volume, I hit "Yes" when it asked me if I wanted to trash these files. Then I selected all of the MP3-ized albums that I had copied over to my target volume, and dragged them onto the now-empty iTunes Library window. It took a few minutes for all of them to copy over (like I said, I had a largish 7 GB chunk). Then, voila! everything worked perfectly.
I even imported another CD just to make sure it works (it does).
I wish that there would have been a Help topic to suggest this...
I hope that others trying to do the same thing catch this post...
Thanks again! (Amazing how annoyingly easy so much stuff is once you get just the right tip ; )
