Cheers David, I only saw the message recommending iTunes folder watch. Could you clarify exactly which files and folders I should delete before rebuilding? Would prefer to avoid corrupting anything or deleting the wrong thing.

So once I use it to relocate all my files, will iTunes automatically clean up all the redundant shortcuts that pointed to the same files in different locations?

I can't find where I got it from at the moment, but a google search should get it for you. Once installed, you can get it to search specified folders for music, and it adds them to the itunes library. It takes a lot less time than trying to rebuild it manually.

Because I manipulated the files in Finder as opposed to doing it from within iTunes, there are a lot of shortcuts in iTunes that point towards files that have either been moved or deleted. Because there are so many instances of this I thought I may as well delete my iTunes library and build a new one. I don't have any playlists and am not bothered about retaining play counts or anything. Is there an alternative to starting all over again, maybe a menu option I could activate from an options menu in iTunes? If not, what file to I need to delete? I'd like to avoid deleting any important system files.
