How to force itunes to build a new itl file
How do I get iTunes/Music to create a new itl file?
My desktop is running OS 10.15.7 and I have my music and other media files stored on an external hard drive.
Mistakes were made probably over the course of years of moving the library between different external drives. I just now realized the magnitude of the problem and I ended up pulling files from old drives and folders manually to remove duplicates, get songs consolidated into the right albums and to get albums in the right categories (primarily in or out of the compilations folder). I made all of those changes with Music turned off.
Now that I've got things mostly straightened out I want Music to keep the files in those albums and categories rather than reorganizing them based on the old itl. I'd also like to have my Media files structured so that later on if I let Music reorganize the file I don't find a Music folder within my Music folder containing some albums and files. As it stands now I have a Media folder containing folders for Audiobooks, Home Videos, Music, Podcasts and TV Shows.
Thanks in advance!
