So you now have *one* set of music files located on an external drive?

So you now have one set of music files located on an external drive?

The playlists, play counts, etc. and, crucially, the locations are in the library files in the Music folder. Did you ever have an iTunes pointing successfully at those music files?

Are you Mac or PC?
