Since deciding to scrap using my NAS for running iTunes I've moved the entire music folder to my Mac. I don't want to simply use this library as it's full of duplicates and broken paths - I want to take all these lossless files I had on the NAS and replace the MP3's on the Mac with them. If I import them I end up with duplicates so I found that if I open an album folder of MP3's, delete them, empty trash, copy lossless files of that album into the album folder and relaunch iTunes, when I select a song to play it shows as missing with an "!" I can then locate the file in the folder and it's added, replacing the mp3 and also maintaining it's position in any playlists.
What I want to know is, what's the quickest way to do this? Should I either:
1) Delete the original MP3s, then import the new lossless files via “add to library” method so they are instantly recognized by itunes and then edit the TXT of my old playlists from the PC (which will still contain all the tracks that otherwise would have have disappeared from the Mac playlists) with the Mac folder location and re-import?
Or, is there a script I could run to link all the "!" missing mp3s with their lossless counterparts once copied into the original folders?
