    If you have deletedor moved the files from your computer outside of iTunes then that will be why.

    it means itunes cant find the files - you must have moved them elsewhere on your hard drive or removed them completely.

    ok but I havent removed them, recently the whole of the library was lost from my IPOD and I had to reload from iTunes on my PC which took up to an hour, I think it is since then that some of the playlist etc are somewhat diminished. I dont download much from the www only put my own cd's on iTunes so I think it is only a percentage of those tracks that are lost. I guess it will mean burning them again from the discs. cheers, J

    basically its looking at where u linked to tunes and coming back and basically saying they are not there, just a case of check where the files are linked to and check filenames
