itunes help please.

[usasoc]

I already posted this question in the intunes forum, but i didnt get any help.
the story goes...


I accidently unplugged my external hard-drive which holds all my songs. I plugged it back in, and now when i try to play some of my songs it has the (!) mark by the song number and it says it cant find the origin of the file? I can play the songs ive downloaded. Just the ones ive ripped from cd's ive brought are the ones that dont work. I really would like my songs back. Please help?

delete the files that are on your external drive from the itunes library. then find your music folder on the external drive and click and drag that into the itunes library. your music will be back without any (!).

yeah, thats right. when you unplugged it it cant find the files, youll need to re-import them back to iTunes so it is able to find them. its the same if you move a file once importing it.
