I have ~2,000 songs in my iTunes library, but a very small number (3?)
have gone missing and have "!" marks in front of their names. But
finding the 3 that are missing by scrolling the library is like looking
for 3 needles in a haystack. How can I ask iTunes to list just the songs
that are missing?
Lost & Found Playlists
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching only Music items and the rule Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist.

Thanks for this. I'm kinda iTunes-clueless & must have misunderstood something you wrote. I created a Found playlist under All Playlists as you suggested. But when I got to New Smart Playlist options, I got the wrong result when I used the following:
¶ "Match" checked
¶ "Music" from the list after that
¶ "Name" from the list after that
¶ "does not contain" from the list after that
¶ "lost" in the following fill-in
¶ clicked "OK"
The result was a list of 1992 songs. What am I doing wrong?
The Lost playlist should look like this:

Great / thanks. The Lost playlist is empty. So the issue I had with missing songs has been resolved.
Thanks again for your help!
You're welcome. 🙂
