I use a remote music folder for storing my iTunes library. After updating to OS 10.4, all of my playlists disappeared (not the music, just the lists), and I would love to be able to restore them. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Can any one tell me where the playlist info is stored?
Additionally, much of my previously imported music doesn't at first show itself as being in the library. The music is still on my drive, and if I drag and drop said music from a finder window to the library in iTunes, the music immediately reappears as selectable playable items (i.e. they don't re-import themselves, they just come back to being normal). I thought maybe it was a file format issue but mp4, mp3, and AAC all present this problem for some albums. Many of my albums already show up fine, but others need this tedious and time consuming process to return them to normal. Is there a faster and simpler solution than manually searching through all of my music folders to see what is or isn't being recognized?
Also, I wish to synchronize my library between my desktop G4 and my laptop, so I can take my entire library home to play through my new Sonos system (which is great technology BTW). I'm thinking I need to sync preferences, as well as everything in the iTunes folder. Am I leaving anything out?
