If you’ve moved your iTunes music files around, iTunes can export incorrect information about the songs in its library. You’ll need to make sure that iTunes has the correct folder for your music library. Visit the iTunes Preferences and click on Advanced. If the path to your Music Library folder is incorrect, you’ll need to fix it. If it is correct, try changing it to a different folder and then change it back to the correct folder. iTunes will then update the paths to all your music and export that data correctly. (This process won’t move any of your music, but it will force iTunes to scan your music library and update the paths to all the songs.) One other problem that Mac users might encounter is that under Panther, external drives don’t automatically get mounted at startup time until the user logs in. This means that if you don’t have automatic logon turned on and you keep your music on an external drive, the SlimServer won’t be able to find your music files.
